Gene conversion. Gene conversion is the process by which one DNA sequence replaces a homologous sequence such that the sequences become identical after the conversion event. Gene conversion can be either allelic, meaning that one allele of the same gene replaces another allele, or ectopic, meaning that one paralogous DNA sequence converts another.
Gene knockout is a technique for selectively inactivating a gene by replacing it with a mutant allele in an otherwise normal organism. This technique of disrupting gene function, which has been widely used in yeast and mice, is a powerful tool for unraveling the mechanisms by which basic cellular processes occur.ene knockout is a technique for selectively inactivating a gene by replacing it with a mutant allele in an otherwise normal organism.
