Inbred Lines - inbred strains are important for genetic screens to simplify phenotypes that might otherwise be complicated due to polymorphic effects.
Mutants - In our genetic screen, we have identified a number of potential mutants with interesting phenotypes.
Linkage Map - the group at U. of Houston are compiling a microsatellite map and have protocols for amplifying microsatellites to detect polymorphisms
