	The Nobel Prize 2007 Has Been Given Away
...ch means that scientists have researched the significance of about a half of all genes in the mammalian genome by "knocking out" certain genes. The gene targeting technology has already produced over 500 mouse models of human disorders, such as cardiovascular, neuro-degenerative diseases, diabetes, cancer and many others. Thus Mario R. Capecchi, from the University of Utah, Sir Martin J. Evans, from the Cardiff Universi...
