Site-directed Mutagenesis

Site-directed mutagenesis is a method of making targeted changes in gene sequences through mutation. It involves making small, deliberate modifications to the DNA sequence of a gene or other genetic elements. This method can be used to study gene function, identify disease-causing mutations, generate novel proteins and structures, and develop gene therapies. Site-directed mutagenesis has become an invaluable tool in the biomedical and biotechnological fields due to its ability to make specific changes in a genetic sequence which can be used to examine gene function and develop novel therapies.
