Types of Screens
ENU is used as a genetic tool by designing a variety of genetic screens suitable to the researchers' interests. Depending on the region being assessed, forward genetic screens can be classified as illustrated in Figure 2 as:
- Region Specific screens: Studies are designed specifically to obtain a gradient of phenotypes by generating an allelic series which are helpful in studying the region of interest.
- Genome-wide screens: These comprise of simple dominant or recessive screens and are often useful in understanding specific genetic and biochemical pathways.

This man was limited,
Where screens leant on the wall
And idle headphones hung.
Since he would soon be dead
They let his wife come along
And pour out tea, each day.”
