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?
Thanks,
Marilyn
