Aquatic Animal Gene Overexpression Service

Gene overexpression technology is an experimental method that boosts the expression of specific genes to explore their roles in cells or organisms. BioVenic has extensive experience in gene editing of aquatic animals and provides standardized gene overexpression services to meet your needs in various scientific scenarios.

Introduction to Aquatic Animal Gene Overexpression

Gene overexpression technology studies the role of specific genes in cells or organisms by increasing their expression levels. To observe the effect of overexpression of target genes on early embryonic development, a target gene overexpression vector is constructed, and corresponding mRNA is transcribed and synthesized in vitro. mRNA is injected into early embryos at different doses to study the impact of target gene overexpression on embryonic development and tissue organ formation. Gene overexpression technology has wide applications in basic research, drug development, disease model creation, and other fields.

Applications of Gene Overexpression

• Basic Research: By overexpressing the target gene in aquatic animals, the function of the target gene can be inferred by observing the phenotype.
• Disease Model: By overexpressing disease-related genes in aquatic animals, researchers can obtain disease models that exhibit relevant phenotypes, facilitating the study of disease mechanisms and drug screening.
• Gene Therapy: The use of overexpression techniques to repair or replace defective genes for the treatment of genetic diseases.
• Genetic Breeding: By overexpressing relevant genes, researchers can produce aquatic animals with better growth performance and stronger stress resistance.
