The system can yield dose - response curves for candidate drugs, screen
the phenotypes of large numbers of gene mutations, or execute complex custom protocols for completely new experiments.
Not exact matches
The scientific community uses knockout mice to analyze basal
phenotypes (the appearance
of genetic characteristics) to analyze the function
of such a
large number of genes.
We conclude that the
large number of mouse mutants and human de novo mutations may be due to the combination
of the Chd7
gene being a
large target and the fact that many heterozygous carriers
of the mutations are viable individuals with a readily detectable
phenotype.
