	Genetic screen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A genetic screen (often shortened to screen) is a procedure or test to identify and select individuals who possess a phenotype of interest.
		A genetic screen for new genes is often referred to as forward genetics as opposed to reverse genetics, the term for identifying mutant alleles in genes that are already known.
		Since unusual alleles and phenotypes are rare, geneticists expose the individuals that are to be screened to a mutagen, such as a chemical or radiation, which generates mutations in their chromosomes.

	Molecular genetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Molecular genetics is the field of biology which studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level.
		It is so-called to differentiate it from other sub fields of genetics such as ecological genetics and population genetics.
		An important area within molecular genetics is the use of molecular information to determine the patterns of descent, and therefore the correct scientific classification of organisms: this is called molecular systematics.

	Reverse genetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reverse genetics is an approach to discovering the function of a gene that proceeds in the opposite direction of so called forward genetic screens of classical genetics.
		Simply put, while forward genetics seeks to find the genetic basis of a phenotype or trait, reverse genetics seeks to find the possible phenotypes that may derive from a specific genetic sequence enumerated during DNA sequencing.
		A molecular genetic approach is the creation of transgenic organisms that overexpress a normal gene of interest.

	Screens
		Successful genetic analysis demands that you be able to recognize and isolate the desired mutants at a frequency comparable to that of their generation (described in Section III).
		II A. A screen is the analysis of different bacterial isolates for a given phenotype or property (like unusual growth, the level of a given enzyme, the presence of an interesting metabolite, the level of a particular antigen, or the presence of a region of DNA capable of hybridizing to a given probe).
		Screens for bacterial isolates that produce altered levels or types of secondary metabolites are often so performed and are typically rather difficult for that reason.

	Genzyme Genetics Expands Cystic Fibrosis Testing Capabilities
		Carrier screening can help physicians identify children with CF earlier in life, allowing parents and medical professionals to begin medical and nutritional intervention that can improve the child's growth and development, and reduce the incidence of respiratory infections.
		Screening for a larger group of mutations provides a test that is sensitive to the genetic differences among the ethnically diverse U.S. population, according to a study that Genzyme Genetics scientists recently published in Genetics in Medicine.
		Genzyme Genetics, a business unit of Genzyme General, is a leader in providing high quality genetic testing and counseling services to health care professionals and their patients, performing more than 400,000 genetic tests annually.

	HHMI's BioInteractive - What is chemical genetics?
		Chemical genetics is a research method that uses small molecules to change the way proteins work—directly in real time rather than indirectly by manipulating their genes.
		The term chemical genetics indicates that the approach uses chemistry to generate the small molecules and that it is based on principles that are similar to classical genetic screens.
		In a genetic screen the activity of a protein is altered indirectly—by mutating its gene—but in chemical genetics this change is direct and occurs in real time (when the molecule is added).

	Towards a Behavioral Genetics of Zebrafish, August 28-29, 1999
		The utility of this organism for understanding the genetics of behavior and disorders with behavioral components, such as addiction, sensory deficits, or neurological and psychiatric disorders, is not known because of the lack of behavioral screens.
		Before zebrafish genetics could be exploited in studies of circadian clock mechanisms, it was necessary to develop efficient measures of circadian rhythmicity that can be used to screen for mutants, as well as information on the organization of the circadian system that can be used to interpret mutant phenotypes.
		In a pilot screen of 1275 mutagenized genomes, we identified two semi-dominant mutations that shorten the free running period of the larval behavioral rhythm by 0.5-0.8 h in heterozygotes and 1.0-1.5 h in homozygotes.

		Genetic screens also have been used to identify other genes that are required for plant R gene function.
		Genetic screens, either to discover second-site enhancers or suppressors of known mutations or performed in a background of a 'phenotypeless' knockout, offer a powerful method for detecting genetic redundancy, whether or not that redundancy is based on sequence similarity (reviewed in ref. 207).
		Although combining this technology with the recent advances in plant genetics and genomics may hold great promise, the debate of the past few years makes it clear that certain scientific and non-scientific issues must be resolved by society as a whole before the technology will be accepted in the world at large.

		It is a powerful method for addressing many questions in cell biology, and its amenability for use in modifier screens in addition to direct LOF screening has made it particularly useful for the analysis of signal transduction pathways (Box 2).
		Most HT RNAi screens are complex and expensive undertakings, requiring significant automation and computing infrastructures, and a combination of disparate skills, ranging from informatics to cell-culture expertise and HT assay development (Box 3).
		In addition, the cost associated with systematic genome-scale screens can be considerable, as large amounts of screening reagents are required, as well as expensive instrumentation for automation, and extensive computing infrastructure, which is crucial for the management and analysis of the large and complex data sets.

		In the high-resolution DIC screen of the first few cell divisions, a large number of different phenotypes could be matched with genes of related functions [2].
		The dissecting microscope phenotypes were not as diagnostic as the DIC phenotypes, but some, such as the 'high incidence of males' phenotype associated with defects in chromosome segregation, suggest a specific function (chromosome mechanics) [1].
		Furthermore, the screens in these papers were biased toward genes required for viability: they were not geared toward subtle neuronal, muscular, or developmental phenotypes.

		Reverse genetics or knockout technology is the most straightforward approach to this end.
		While in conventional genetic screens organisms with mutant phenotypes are isolated followed by the laborious identification of the causal mutations, in a reverse genetics approach the starting point is a predefined gene and efforts go into disruption of this gene and investigation of its consequences.
		Alternatively, the sequence analysis part may be uncoupled from the system, in which case it is possible to manually annotate mutations in a gene by providing a changed base and either coordinate or short flanking sequences.

		Unlike a genetic screen, where positional cloning of the mutated gene can take months or years, the molecular nature of genes identified in an RNAi-based reverse genetics screen is known at the onset.
		The DIC time-lapse images were scanned for defects in cellular processes including meiosis, pronuclear appearance and migrations, spindle assembly, mitosis, and cytokinesis, yielding 133 genes from this high-resolution screen of chromosome III (Figure 1).
		Thus, the conserved 'core' genome is essential to the earliest stages of development, with an increasing component of unknown (and nematode-specific?) functions as the animal reaches maturity.
