The current genetic map is also limited by the nature of phenotypes defining individual genes. Generally, loci defined by phenotypic variants are limited to those specifying easily recognizable characters or behaviors. Recessive-lethal mutations, for example, and particularly those that arrest development prenatally and do not have some type of (dominant) effect in the one-dose state, are rarely detected without the use of appropriate chromosomal markers and specific breeding schemes. Studies in Drosophila by a number of groups have demonstrated that screens for new mutations, including lethal mutations, by strategies of'saturation mutagenesis' can help to dissect the components of a particular phenotype s-10 or the functional make-up of an entire chromosomal region11, 12. Thus, one way of closing the functional resolution gap in the mouse, at least in part, is to incorporate methods of high-efficiency germ-cell mutagenesis into strategies to generate, detect, maintain and map all classes of new mutatioJ~ s, including those normally difficult to recognize and maintain.~ fecdve germ-cdl mutagens
