An overview of how the cosmid transgenic library constructed in this study can be used in the process of determining the biological function of a nucleotide sequence. If a mutant phenotype has been assigned to a particular gene, pathway A can be used to determine what the nucleotide sequence of that gene is. If a putative gene has been identified based on sequence similarity, pathway B can be used to isolate genetic mutations in the gene of interest.
