Abstract excerpt
Insertions in specific genes belonging to large and homogeneous gene families often do not cause a visible phenotype due to genetic redundancy. Therefore, several single-insertion mutants may have to be combined into double or even triple mutants in order to obtain a loss-of-function phenotype. It is therefore most useful to shift from single-gene insertion selection toward selection at the gene family level....
