jan 1, 1989 - GENE KNOCKOUT THERAPY

Description:

Knockouts are primarily used to understand the role of a specific gene or DNA region by comparing the knockout organism to a wild type with a similar genetic background. Knockout organisms are also used as screening tools in the development of drugs, to target specific biological processes or deficiencies by using a specific knockout, or to understand the mechanism of action of a drug by using a library of knockout organisms spanning the entire genome
