Sure, a knocked out gene has two sides:
-
advantages
- disadvantages
- disadvantages
One of important advantages is that a researcher knows which factor precisely in determining animal behavior, in this case a certain behavior of mice.
Another advantage, researchers could decide the exact time to disrupt a specific gene. The timing is important to conduct behavior experiments in the laboratory.
However, there are several disadvantages, some of them:
1) Expensive economically
- a
lot of labors (labor consuming) include culturing of stem cell
2) Gene knockout may lethal to embryo development.
-
hence, animal can’t reach adulthood.
3) May incomplete knockout process
4) Disruption of genes may overlap.
5) A knockout gene may develop cancer in certain tissues of mice.

I sure hope more research is put into this!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post!
La ciencia precisamente, se funda en el ensayo-error, por eso puede tener sus percances. Saludos. Carlos
