Arabidopsis Experiments Forward Genetic Screen (Ethylene Insensitive Mutants) Reverse Genetic Screen / PCR Genotyping (H+- ATPase Mutants)
Forward vs. Reverse Genetics • Treat thousands of organisms with a mutagen, - random mutagenesis, • Identify an individual with a phenotype of interest, • Identify the gene. Forward • Treat thousands of organisms with a mutagen (usually), • random mutagenesis, • Identify an individual with a genotype of interest, • Identify the phenotype. Reverse
