What technology is Evans known for developing?
Knockout mouse
CRISPR
Gene therapy
RNA interference
Answer
Knockout mouse technology, developed by Mario Capecchi, Oliver Smithies, and Martin Evans, involves genetically modifying mice by inactivating specific genes. This allows researchers to study the function of genes in living organisms and understand their role in various biological processes and diseases. By creating mice with specific gene knockouts, scientists can observe the phenotypic changes and determine the gene's function.
