Precision in Gene Study
Knockin technologies allow for the targeted insertion or modification of specific genes, enabling you to study the precise effects of those genes on cellular functions and pathways.
Modeling Diseases
They can be used to create disease models that closely mimic human conditions, facilitating the understanding of disease mechanisms and the screening of drug candidates.
Protein Tagging
By inserting tags or reporter genes, scientists can monitor protein expression, localization, and interactions in live cells, providing insight into dynamic biological processes.
Overcoming Limitations of Knockout Models
Knockin cell lines can clarify the function of genes that may be essential for cell survival by allowing the study of specific mutations without completely knocking out the gene.
