Understand disease mechanisms at the genomic level
Gene modulation refers to the process of temporarily altering gene expression levels without making heritable changes to the underlying cellular DNA. The most common gene modulation techniques involve silencing gene function (knockdown) via RNAi or CRISPRi techniques, or increasing expression (activation/overexpression) via cDNA, ORF or CRISPRa techniques.
Horizon offers a wide selection of trusted reagents for both gene knockdown and activation.
