Abstract
Genetic analysis represents a powerful tool that establishes a direct link between the biochemical function of a gene product and its role in vivo. Genome sequencing projects have identified large numbers of plant genes for which no role has yet been defined. To address this problem a number of techniques have been developed, over the last 15 years, to enable researchers to identify plants with mutations in genes of known sequence. These reverse genetic approaches include RNAi and related technologies and screening of populations mutagenised by insertion (PCR), deletion (PCR) and point mutation (TILLING), each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The development of next-generation sequencing techniques now allows such screening to be done by sequencing. In the future, it is likely that the genomes of thousands of plants from mutagenised populations will be sequenced allowing for the identification of plants with mutations in specific genes to be done in silico.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
