Gene transfer into mammalian cells Cloned genes transferred into cultured cells allow in vitro analysis of gene function. Cloned genes transferred into mouse embryos allow in vivo analysis of gene function. In knockout mice, targeted genes are disrupted. “Knock-in” technology allows the replacement of an endogenous gene. Ch. 22
