SERVICE DESCRIOPTION

TILLer Service is an international public service for the search of EMS induced mutants in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

TILLer is available through the web page http://www.cnb.csic.es/~tiller or through the international Arabidopsis web page (http://www.arabidopsis.org/).

During the past four years TILLer Service has searched for chemically induced mutants by applying TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) technique in an EMS collection of 3712 mutants developed by the service for such purpose (Martin et al., 2009).

Up to now, the Service has searched for mutants in more than 20 genes derived from applications from several countries and it has identified more than 500 mutants in those genes.
