Abstract
Methods are provided in which a promoter hairpin construct is introduced into a cell to suppress expression of a gene of interest; a change in phenotype of the cell, or of an organism regenerated from the cell, is detected; and the change in phenotype identifies the function of a product of the gene of interest. Also provided are methods for restoring the original phenotype.
