Let\'s say you sequence microorganisms living on surfaces in your house. And let\'s say the sequencing service also identifies potential genes in your sequences. What can you do to figure out what function those potential genes play in the environment of your home?

Solution

Explanation :- If we mutate these potential genes then we could observe the phenotype or its effect on the normal activity of microorganism. We can also compare it with wild type microorganism. If after mutation some change is observed it cohld be attributed to the functions of these potential genes.
