Study Notes

Knock-in Mouse

A genetically modified animal created by inserting a protein-coding cDNA sequence at a specific location on an organism's chromosome.
Primary purpose: to create an animal with a modified or enhanced-function allele.
Involves the insertion of a specific gene sequence at a targeted location on a chromosome.
