The production of either random or specific mutations in a piece of cloned DNA. Typically, the DNA will then be reintroduced into a cell or an organism to assess the results of the mutagenesis.

Mutagenesis
The formation of mutations.
Mutant
An organism with an altered base sequence in one or several genes. Usually refers to an organism with a mutation that causes a phenotypic difference from the wild-type.
Mutagenesis
When a chemical or physical agent is used to cause permanent genetic alterations.

Directed mutagenesis
Two new papers examining the phenomena of directed mutations have recently appeared in the literature. I'll quickly review these experiments in the next post.
Site-directed mutagenesis is a sophisticated technique that can either change regulatory regions in the promoter of a gene or make subtle codon changes in the open reading frame to identify important amino residues for protein function.
Site-directed mutagenesis. The process of introducing spe- cific base-pair mutations into a gene.
Site-specific mutagenesis The use of recombinant DNA technology to create specific deletions, insertions, or substitutions in vitro in a particular gene; ...
Pauling first described the a-helix nearly 50 years ago, yet new features of its structure continue to be discovered, using peptide model systems, sitedirected mutagenesis, advances in theory, ...
Filamentous bacteriophages are used to produce single-stranded DNA for sequencing or in vitro mutagenesis (eg. M13), and as vectors for Phage display expression screening systems ...
Genetic modifications to enzymes through protein engineering techniques such as site-directed mutagenesis and DNA shuffling have allowed scientists to enhance the catalytic properties of certain enzymes under specific industrial conditions such as ...
A key feature of insertional mutagenesis for the identification of plasmids containing recombinant DNA is:
A.
the production of nutritional auxotrophs.
Left unchecked, they have the potential to cause mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.
DNA that has been created artificially. Basic recombinant DNA techniques include restriction digestion, ligation, site-directed mutagenesis, PCR, and cloning in plasmid or other vectors.
