From kobayash from nature.berkeley.edu Thu May 8 18:46:44 2008 From: kobayash from nature.berkeley.edu (Marilyn Kobayashi) Date: Thu May 8 21:58:54 2008 Subject: [Chlamydomonas] Frameshift mutagens Message-ID: <482390E4.2030004@nature.berkeley.edu> We are developing a reverse genetics strategy for finding mutations in specific genes. Presently we are using uv mutagenesis but would like to try other mutagens to get a broader spectrum of mutants. We have tried a frameshift mutagen, ICR-191. Does anyone have any experience to maximize the mutation rate using ICR-191? Is there other frameshift mutagens we could try with chlamy?

Something like what the Homologene database is doing, but they don't seem to include any algae. Peter Palenchar
