Conditional Knockout iPS Cell Generation Service
Cell lines with a loss-of-function gene mutation is an invaluable tool for studying and understanding the function of genes and gene products. But a constitute knockout of an essential gene can affect cell viability and survivability. A conditional knockout cell line could rescue a potential lethality and give better control over the expression of the gene, as well as offer a more physiologically relevant model to study the role of the target gene and provide a target for drug discovery.
