Şükrü Azi̇zi̇

Sorry, I didn't understand your question. Have a nice day.

Vrinda Rakwal

As far as i know knockdown is a temporary method as compared to knockout. Which could be good or bad depending on the situation. It's hard to choose.

Sriraksha Bapat

Şükrü Azi̇zi̇ sir my question was how to choose between gene knockdown and knockout if I were to design an experiment based on reverse genetics. I want to know the primary rationale.

Vrinda Rakwal, thank you for the response.
