Targeted Gene Replacement

Targeted Gene Replacement is a biotechnological method used to modify specific genes within an organism’s DNA. Scientists can replace an existing gene with a new version, often to study the gene's function or to correct genetic disorders. This process involves delivering a new piece of DNA into cells, which integrates into the target gene's location, effectively "replacing" it. This technique is valuable in research and medicine, helping to better understand diseases and develop potential treatments by creating more accurate models for testing therapies or studying genetic functions.
