What is another word for Insertional Mutagenesis?
Pronunciation: [ɪnsˈɜːʃənə͡l mjˌuːte͡ɪd͡ʒˈɛnɪsˌɪs] (IPA) 
The term "Insertional Mutagenesis" refers to the introduction of a foreign DNA fragment into an organism's genome, resulting in genetic alterations. Some synonymous terms for Insertional Mutagenesis are Gene Trapping, Insertional Mutant, Site-Specific Mutagenesis, and Transposon Mutagenesis. Gene trapping is a technique used to identify genes linked to specific traits or diseases by inserting a DNA fragment into the genome. Insertional mutant refers to organisms that have undergone mutation due to the insertion of foreign DNA fragments. Site-specific mutagenesis involves the deliberate insertion of DNA fragments at specific locations in the genome to produce alterations. Transposon mutagenesis involves the transfer of a transposon, a DNA segment that can move within the genome, into a particular organism, leading to genetic mutation.
