Research models are used in medical research to mimic aspects of a disease or illness that occurs in humans. Research models can include animals (in vivo models), cell lines (in vitro models), or computer-driven demonstrations (in silico models). Research models allow doctors and scientists to uncover important information that can be applied to clinical practice.
Genome Engineering allows the easy manipulation of genomes down to the nucleotide level. Targeted deep sequencing enables the detection and quantification of low-frequency editing events. Ho...
