Computer-enhanced high-throughput genetic screens of C. elegans in a microfluidic system
Matthew M. Crane, Kwanghun Chung and Hang Lu
Most visual screens based on fluorescent markers are currently limited in throughput and accuracy. Here we present the first genetic screen of a mutagenized population of C. elegans in a microfluidic device. Animal handling streamlined by a microfluidic device and intuitive control software enabled the identification of novel mutants and a large screening speed.
