There are thousands of rare diseases that are often insufficiently researched and for which there is no effective treatment. The Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP), a large research infrastructure at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, has therefore launched the RD-Factory program, which aims to find out more about these…

About Czech Centre for Phenogenomics
Genetically modified mouse models have become a key tool in basic and biomedical research. The ability to engineer the mouse genome has greatly transformed biomedical research in the last decade. Crucial for this technology is the ability to control the expression of genes of interest. It is possible to increase or decrease gene expression, or eliminate the expression of a gene completely.
Transgenic and gene knockout/knockin technologies have become important experimental tools for assigning functions to genes at the level of whole complexity of organism, creating models of genetic disorders, evaluating effects drugs and toxins, thus helping to answer fundamental issues in basic and applied research.
