Abstract excerpt
Activation tagging is a high-throughput method of overexpressing genes by using an enhancer present in insertion sequences that are randomly inserted in the genome to enhance the expression of adjacent genes. Gain-of-function approaches are advantageous to identify the functions of redundant genes that are not identifiable by knockout (KO) mutations, and for identification of phenotypes with small effects, which...
