Practice questions
- Which two gene-product classes were represented among the 36 mutant mouse strains in the CFG phenotype survey?
- How many mutant mouse strains were included in the phenotype survey reported by Orr and colleagues?
- In the reported screening workflow, how long was each mutant strain allotted for analysis?
- Which set of domains most accurately describes the standard phenotype assays used in the CFG mouse phenotype screen?
- What was the role of additional testing of the 20 mutant strains that had already been studied in other laboratories?
- Which statement correctly describes the new mutant strains generated by the CFG for this project?
- The survey reported more than 300 phenotype changes across more than 100 assays per strain. Which interpretation is most consistent with the report?
- Abnormal testis morphology was reported in mice deficient in which gene products?
- Which mutant strain was reported to show lethality in the CFG phenotype survey?
- A researcher wants to interpret a normal result in one assay from a mutant strain in this survey. Which conclusion is best justified by the study design?
