Chest pain and shortness of breath if blood clots form in the blood vessels in your lungs and heart. Pain, redness, warmth, and swelling in the lower leg if blood clots form in the deep veins of your leg. Headaches, speech changes, paralysis (an inability to move), dizziness, and trouble speaking and understanding if blood clots form in the blood vessels in your brain. These signs and symptoms may indicate a stroke.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A gene knockout (abbreviation: KO) is a genetic technique in which one of an organism 's genes is made inoperative (knocked out of the organism). knockout mouse (left) that is a model of obesity, compared with a normal mouse. A conditional knockout allows gene deletion in a tissue or time specific manner. This is done by introducing short sequences called loxP sites around the gene.
Encoded in the DNA is some type of index that directs the molecular machinery to the start of the hemoglobin gene. When new hemoglobin is required, protein production is activated. The gene is read and the protein is manufactured. At the end of the gene is a message called a stop codon, which ends protein production. The manufacture of proteins using the instructions from the gene is called protein expression. Doug Prasher envisioned that it would be possible to use biomolecular techniques to insert the GFP gene at the end of the hemoglobin gene, right before the stop codon.
