Gene targeting

Gene targeting is a genetic technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene. It can be used to delete a gene, add a gene and introduce point mutations. Gene targeting can be permanent or conditional. Gene targeting has been widely used to study human genetic diseases by removing ("knocking out"), or adding ("knocking in"), specific mutations of interest to a variety of models.
