Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H8SO3. It is an alkylating agent used in mutagenesis studies and genetic research. Ethyl methanesulfonate is known for its ability to induce mutations in DNA by alkylating nucleotides, leading to changes in the genetic information. It is often used to create specific mutations in organisms to study the effects on gene function and phenotype.
