Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Insertional mutagenesis allows for the creation of loss-of-function mutations on a genome-wide scale. In theory, every gene can be 'knocked out' via the insertion of an additional DNA sequence. Resources of sequence-indexed mutants of plant and animal model organisms are instrumental for functional genomics studies. Such repositories significantly speed up the acquisition of interesting genotypes and...
