By removing a gene to stunt cane toads at their tadpole stage, scientists hope they may have found a way to make the invader ...

Both gene knockout and knock-in models are powerful tools widely used in biomedical research to gain important insights into ...

Synthego, a leading genome engineering solutions company, today announced the launch of the Gene Knockout Kit v2. This is the only product that leverages a novel bioinformatics- powered multi-guide ...

However, because so many mouse genes are similar to human genes, geneticists can generate knockout mice in which the mouse counterpart of a human gene of interest is deleted or disrupted.

to knockout and characterize all protein-coding genes in the mouse genome. Knocking out the activity of a gene provides valuable clues about what that gene normally does. However, creating and ...

The Ca2+ stored in the cellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a crucial role in protein folding and lipid transfer, and its impairment leads to cellular ER stress. When chronic cellular ER stress ...

Gene knockout approaches completely ablate gene expression at the DNA level. 3 Researchers can accomplish this by using genome editing tools, such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription ...

To create a knockout mouse, scientists genetically engineer the animal by disrupting a gene of interest. This may be done by deleting portions of the gene's DNA sequence to make it nonfunctional ...
