Molecular genetics
... The aim of this technique is to identify mutations that produce a certain
phenotype . A mutagen is very often used to accelerate this process. Once mutants ... are productive, a more straightforward approach would be to determine the
phenotype that results from mutating a given gene. This is called reverse genetics. ...
