| wild type |
The wild type (wt) is a term referring to the natural genetic form of an organism. A wild type is distinguished from a mutant form (an organism with a genetic mutation). Usually, the distinction between wild type and mutant is based on a single mutation. It should be noted, that within a population of an organism, there is no such thing as a wild type. The term, however, is useful for geneticists because it allows a simple definition of a standard or control condition.
