A gene knock-out can be described as:   Question 2 options:   Introduction of a cloned gene into a living cell in an attempt to cure a disease   A genetic modification that allows control over when and where the gene is deleted   Insertion of a gene into the genome   Transgenic mice   Complete removal of a gene in all cells within an organism

Arrange the best steps to take to identify the gene and mutation that causes the lung cancer. Not all of the answers will be placed. Isolate tumor DNA lightly fragment the genome transfect the genome into mouse cell line determine shared transfected region repeat with small fragments and sequence the gene generate a cell line from the tumor sequence the tumor-cell genome isolate transformed colonies introduce transfected cells into a mouse Introduce the mutation in cell culture
