Tissue-specific modifier alleles determine <i>Mertk</i> loss-of-function traits

2022-05-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Knockout (KO) mouse models play critical roles in elucidating biological processes behind disease-associated or disease-resistant traits. As a consequence of gene KO, mice display certain phenotypes. Based on insight into the molecular role of said gene in a biological process, it is inferred that the particular biological process causally underlies the trait. This approach has been crucial towa...
