OMIA:003066-10036 : Genetically engineered gene knockout or knockin, generic in Mesocricetus auratus (golden hamster)

In other species: grass carp , Japanese medaka , Nile tilapia , pig , turquoise killifish

Categories: Cellular phene

Single-gene trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: unknown

Cross-species summary: Gene knockout and knockin models comprise genetically engineered animals in which specific genes have been inactivated or deleted or added. These models provide a valuable tool for investigating gene function, disease mechanisms, and biological processes. See also gene specific entries (by doing an exhaustive search for GMO) and/or entires for OMIA:002665  Genetically engineered humanised animal.

Genetic engineering: Yes - variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
