Overview

Genetic suppression is a method by which specific gene expression can be prevented, by reducing the expression of a particular gene. It is achieved by using genetic engineering techniques such as gene knock-outs or RNA interference. This technique is used to study genetic functions or for therapeutic purposes, for example to silence the expression of genes that code for proteins responsible for diseases. To achieve this, the target gene is manipulated so it no longer produces a protein, thereby preventing the expression of the gene and its effects. This technique is useful in the medical field, as it can be used to treat certain diseases and modify existing therapies. In addition, genetic suppression can also be used to create genetically modified organisms, such as plants or animals with specific desired characteristics.
