cis-trans test

cis-trans test
in microbial genetics, a test to determine whether two (recessive) mutations are alleles (located in the same gene) or pseudoalleles (located in different genes). A heterozygote carrying the mutations on the same chromosome (cis configuration) will show a wild-type phenotype in either case, but one carrying the mutations on different chromosomes (trans configuration) will show a wild-type phenotype if they are pseudoalleles and a mutant phenotype if they are alleles.
