Conditional gene knockout is a technique used to eliminate a specific gene in a certain tissue, such as the liver. [1] [2] This technique is useful to study the role of individual genes in living organisms. It differs from traditional gene knockout because it targets specific genes at specific times rather than being deleted from beginning of life.

Conditional gene knockout technology allows researchers to eliminate gene expression in specific tissues at a particular point in time, in contrast to traditional knockout studies that eliminate the gene altogether.

Feb 26, 2019 · Conditional gene knockout (CKO) is a technique that eliminates gene expression in a specific organ, tissue, or cell at a specific time.

Here, we present CRISPR-FLIP, a strategy that provides an efficient, rapid and scalable method for biallelic conditional gene knockouts in diploid or aneuploid cells, such as pluripotent stem cells, 3D organoids and cell lines, by co-delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 and …

Jun 2, 2023 · Here, comes the role of conditional gene knockout, where scientists give an additional ‘condition’ in the process– cell, tissue or organ-specific knockout. In this article, we will explore the concept of cKO (Conditional gene knockout), its applications, limitations and why it’s important in genetic research.

Apr 26, 2021 · Conditional knockout (cKO) mice are genetically engineered animal models in which certain gene is inactivated in a specific tissue or on an inducible basis. Researchers can understand certain gene functions through time or tissue specific deletion to study the mechanisms of human disease.

There are two main types of gene knockouts: complete and conditional. A complete gene knockout permanently inactivates the gene, while a conditional gene knockout allows for the gene to be turned off and on at specific times or in specific tissues.

Here we describe a CRISPR/Cas9-based OPTimized inducible gene KnockOut method (OPTiKO) for conditional loss-of-function studies in human cells. This approach relies on an improved tetracycline-inducible system for conditional expression of single …

In this review, we described the development process and principles of the gene knockout technologies, functions of the edited genes in disc degeneration, advantages and disadvantages of different methods and possible targets of the specific Cre recombinase in intervertebral discs.

This conditional knockout strategy involves the insertion of a small artificial intron that harbors two loxP sites into a coding exon of the target gene. In the absence of Cre, this foreign sequence can be fully excised by splicing machinery without affecting gene function.
