Have a life-changing experience? (6)

I believe the answer is:

mutate

(Other definitions for mutate that I've seen before include "Change genetic structure" , "Change in basic nature" , "Change into something else" , "Me taut? (anag) - change fundamentally" , "(In genetics) change" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
