With the wide availability of massively parallel sequencing technologies, genetic mapping has become rate limiting step in mammalian forward genetics. Here we introduce a method for real-time identification N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mutations that cause phenotypes mice. All are identified by whole exome G1 progenitor and their zygosity is established G2/G3 mice before phenotypic assessment. Quantitative qualitative traits, including lethal effects, single or multiple combined pedigrees...

Two cases of spinal myoclonus are described; in both patients was responsive to stimuli and absent during sleep. The first patient considered have viral neuronitis the condition resolved spontaneously. second had cord ischaemia; there electro-physiological evidence abnormal alpha motor neurone activity histological study revealed a severe reduction small intermediate neurones. This supports theory that may result from neurones released control by internuncial

The direct effects of temperature associated with increased metabolic demand be exacerbated by other factors, including decreased resistance to disease and susceptibility parasites.
