Genetic screen
A genetic screen (or simply screen) is a procedure or test to identify and select individuals which possess a phenotype of interest. A genetic screen for new genes is often referred to as forward genetics as opposed to reverse genetics that is the term used for identifying mutant alleles in genes that are already known. Mutant alleles that are not tagged for rapid cloning are mapped and cloned by positional cloning.
