A genetic screen is an experimental technique used to identify or select for individuals love who possess a phenotype of interest in a mutagenized population. Hence a genetic screen is not a type of phenotypic screen. Genetic screens can provide important information on gene function as well as the molecular event that under lie a biological . While genome projects have identified an extensive inventory of genetically not all in many different organisms, genetic screens can provide valuable insight as to how those genes function.
