The Genome-Wide EMS Mutagenesis Bias Correlates With Sequence Context and Chromatin Structure in Rice

Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is a chemical mutagen believed to mainly induce G/C to A/T transitions randomly in plant genomes. However, mutant screening for phenotypes often gets multiple alleles for one gene but no mutant for other genes. We investigated the potential EMS mutagenesis bias and the p...
