What is another word for transposon tagging?
Pronunciation: [tɹanspˈɒsən tˈaɡɪŋ] (IPA) 
Transposon tagging is a genetic tool commonly used to study gene function in living organisms. This approach involves the insertion of a transposable element, or transposon, into a specific gene in the genome, which then tags the gene and allows researchers to study its expression and function. Other terms that can be used to describe this technique include gene trapping, mutagenesis, and transposon mutagenesis. Additionally, related methods that utilize transposons for genetic analysis include transposon-mediated insertional mutagenesis, transposon hopping, and transposon excision. These techniques have proven to be valuable tools for understanding gene regulation, development, and disease progression.
