Conditional gene knockout is a time-consuming procedure and there are additional projects focusing on knocking out the remaining mouse genes. [6] The KOMP project contributor, Oliver Smithies , arguably provided the biggest scientific impact on this gene targeting.
A knockout mouse, or knock-out mouse, is a genetically modified mouse ... (i.e. non-conditional) knockout mice develop in the absence of the gene being investigated ...
A complete gene knockout permanently inactivates the gene, while a conditional gene knockout allows for the gene to be turned off and on at specific times or in specific tissues. Conditional knockouts are particularly useful for studying developmental processes and for understanding the role of a gene in specific cell types or tissues.
NFE2L1 is also involved in maintaining proteostasis. Brains of mice with conditional knockout of NFE2L1 in neuronal cells showed decreased proteasome activity and accumulation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins, and down regulation of genes encoding the 20S core and 19S regulatory sub-complexes of the 26S proteasome.

This figure depicts how Floxing is used in scientific research for spatial and temporal control of gene expression. In genetic engineering, floxing refers to the insertion of a DNA sequence (which is then said to be floxed) between two LoxP sequences, creating an artificial gene cassette which can then be conditionally deleted (knocked out), translocated, or inverted in a process called Cre ...
The EUCOMM consortium is a member of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium, (an organisation including the EUCOMM, KOMP, NorCOMM and TIGM consortia) which reflects a commitment to share and promote their products and technology with the international research community.
Mouse models where the Jag1 gene is turned off in certain tissues (conditional knockout mouse models) have been used to study the role of Jag1 in many tissue specific areas. While homozygous deletions of Jag1 have been shown to be embryonic lethal in mice, and heterozygous deletions may show only a limited phenotype (involving the eye), mice ...
Deletion of both KLF2 and EKLF in mouse embryos results in fatal anemia earlier than in either single deletion at embryonic day 10.5. This indicates that KLF2 and EKLF interact in embryonic and fetal β-like globin gene expression. [16] It has been shown using conditional knockout mice that both KLF2 and EKLF bind directly to β-like globin ...
