One of the genetic techniques used by cell biologists to study the effects of various genes and/or the proteins they code for. Effectively "turning off" a gene by removing it or blocking its expression in someway (often by causing something to bind to the genetic material that codes for it). A specific case of gene removal is gene replacement.
