Also known as: gene knock-out(s)

Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

Gene knock-out is described in the cited review as a CRISPR-based engineering method for targeted genome manipulation, including virus-targeted manipulation through sgRNA design and knock-out strategies. The review places this method within broader RNA and DNA manipulation applications across multiple organisms.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

According to the review, gene knock-out is useful for targeted manipulation of viral genomes and for identifying significant genes involved in virus-host interactions. This positions the method as a way to interrogate gene function in virology-focused CRISPR workflows.

This approach has provided an unprecedented opportunity for creating simple, inexpensive, specific, targeted, accurate, and practical manipulations of viruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), and vaccinia virus.

Problem solved

The method addresses the need for targeted genetic perturbation when studying viral genomes and genes involved in virus-host interactions. The supplied evidence supports its use as part of CRISPR-based virus manipulation, but does not provide a more specific problem formulation or benchmarked use case.
