Ozgene - Knockout Mice Service
Knockout mice are animal models that have been genetically modified to delete or inactivate a specific gene. The term ‘knockout’ refers to knocking out the functionality of the target gene. These mouse models allow researchers to gain insight into how the loss of the gene affects physiology, behavior and disease development. Observing the characteristics of a knockout ...

Ozgene - Knock-in Mice Service
Knock-in mice have an insertion in a specific locus in order to produce genetically modified mice for customised research purposes. Reporter genes, human genes, related genes from the same organism, or point mutations can be introduced into the protein-coding region of a gene to produce knock-in mice. The difference between the knock-in and knockout approach is that knock-in mouse models are utilised to drive expression of an exogenous transgene or gene ...

Ozgene - Humanized Mice Service
Humanized mice broadly refers to mice expressing human genes via transgenesis to gain relevant insights in the in vivo context for the understanding of human-specific physiology and pathology. Whilst many basic biological insights have been obtained from mouse studies, there are limitations to mouse models when investigating human biology. There are components of mouse biology systems that are inconsistent with their human counterparts, particularly the ...

Ozgene - Transgenic Mice Service
The targeted transgenic mouse approach uses gene targeting by means of homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells. The transgene cDNA is knocked into a ‘safe habor’ locus in the mouse genome to generate transgenic mice with a predictable expression pattern without disturbing endogenous gene activity. Safe harbor loci have been utilised in the mouse to investigate gene function, generate

Ozgene - Mouse Model Validation & Phenotyping Service
Mouse model validation is a check to confirm that the knockout, knock-in, humanized or transgenic mouse model has the correctly engineered allele at the DNA level. Further validation can occur at the level of mRNA expression, protein expression or ...
