Mutant creation apparatus, method, and program

A mutant creation method performed by a mutant creation apparatus, the method comprising:

• obtaining mutants of an organism by irradiating the organism, or a target for creating a mutant, with a radiation or electromagnetic energy for inducing a mutation in a nucleotide sequence that causes a trait variation in the organism or introducing a chemical substance into the organism for inducing the mutation;
• selecting a mutant having a desired trait from mutants of the organism;
• analyzing a nucleotide sequence of the selected mutant;
• identifying a nucleotide sequence that provides the desired trait of the mutant in the analyzed nucleotide sequence;
• and
• analyzing a condition under which a desired mutant of the organism is created based on a result of identification.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program, when executed by a mutant creation apparatus to provide the steps of:

• obtaining mutants of an organism by irradiating the organism, or a target for creating a mutant, with a radiation or electromagnetic energy for inducing a mutation in a nucleotide sequence that causes a trait variation in the organism or introducing a chemical substance into the organism for inducing the mutation;
• selecting a mutant having a desired trait from mutants of the organism;
• analyzing a nucleotide sequence of the selected mutant;
• identifying a nucleotide sequence that provides the desired trait of the mutant in the analyzed nucleotide;
• and
• analyzing a condition under which a desired mutant of the organism is created based on a result of identification.
