Appearances can be deceiving: phenotypes of knockout mice.

Abstract excerpt

In the field of mammalian functional genomics, one of the main aims in the post-genomic era is to elucidate the function of all genes in the genome. The powerful technology of gene targeting in embryonic stem cells has enabled the simple generation of mice lacking a specific gene. However, it is evident that in a proportion of such knockout mice no deviation in phenotype could be detected. Advancements in the...
