Knockout mice are animals that have been genetically modified for so that one or more genes are not expressed, or “knocked out.” Studies are then carried out on the mice to determine what the ...

The Study: The group specifically targets studies that utilize knockout mice, a technique developed in the late 1980s in which strains of mice are bred with specific genes turned off.
