Exploring Gene Function

Analysis of mRNAs Provides a Snapshot of Gene Expression
In Situ Hybridization Can Reveal When and Where a Gene Is Expressed
Reporter Genes Allow Specific Proteins to Be Tracked in Living Cells
The Study of Mutants Can Help Reveal the Function of a Gene
RNA Interference (RNAi) Inhibits the Activity of Specific Genes
A Known Gene Can Be Deleted or Replaced with an Altered Version
Genes Can Be Edited with Great Precision Using the Bacterial CRISPR System
