Forward genetics is the examination of the genetic cause of an altered or abnormal phenotype introduced by a chemical mutagenesis or mutation by irradiation (e.g. phenotype $\rightarrow$ genotype). In reverse genetics, a particular gene is altered and the phenotype is investigated (e.g., genotype $\rightarrow$ phenotype).
