Application
- Genetic determinants of blood pressure and heart rate identified through ENU-induced mutagenesis with automated meiotic mapping.: This study identifies genetic factors affecting blood pressure and heart rate using N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutagenesis. The research utilizes automated meiotic mapping to reveal the genetic underpinnings of these cardiovascular traits, providing insights that could inform therapeutic targets (Teixeira et al., 2024).
- Clonality, trafficking, and molecular alterations among Hprt mutant T lymphocytes isolated from control mice versus mice treated with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea.: This study examines the effects of ENU on T lymphocyte clonality and trafficking in mice. The findings provide insights into the mutagenic and immunological impacts of ENU, contributing to our understanding of chemical-induced mutations (Judice et al., 2023).
- Adopting duplex sequencing technology for genetic toxicity testing: A proof-of-concept mutagenesis experiment with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-exposed rats.: This proof-of-concept study integrates duplex sequencing technology to test genetic toxicity in rats exposed to ENU. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach in detecting mutagenic effects, highlighting its potential for genetic toxicity assessment (Smith-Roe et al., 2023).

Mice harbouring gene mutations that cause phenotypic abnormalities during organogenesis are invaluable tools for linking gene function to normal development and human disorders. To generate mouse models harbouring novel alleles that are involved in organogenesis we conducted a phenotype-driven, genome-wide

Alterations of genes encoding transcriptional regulators of lymphoid development are a hallmark of B-progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and most commonly involve PAX5, encoding the DNA-binding transcription factor paired-box 5. The majority of PAX5 alterations in ALL are heterozygous, and
