Efficient collection of a large number of mutations by mutagenesis of DNA damage response defective animals

Abstract With the development of massive parallel sequencing technology, it has become easier to establish new model organisms that are ideally suited to the specific biological phenomena of interest. Considering the history of research using classical model organisms, we believe that the efficient...
