Wild type (abbreviation wt) refers to the phenotype of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature. Originally, the wild type was conceptualized as a product of the standard `normal` allele at a locus, in contrast to that produced by a non-standard, `mutant` allele. `Mutant” alleles can vary to a great extent, and even become the w...
