Exploring gene function is crucial after the human genome project. This review examines ENU mutagenesis as a systematic tool for genome analysis, particularly in mouse models for disease research.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics and genetics
  • Molecular biology
  • Animal models in research

Background:

  • The completion of the human genome project shifts focus to gene function analysis.
  • Genetic dissection in animal models is a key strategy for understanding biological processes.
  • Mouse mutants and transgenic techniques are established tools for disease pathogenesis research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of Ethylnitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis.
  • To evaluate ENU mutagenesis as a systematic tool for genome analysis.
  • To highlight the application of phenotype-driven strategies in genetic research.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on ENU mutagenesis.
  • Analysis of ENU's application in systematic genome analysis.
