Transgenic approaches for optogenetics Tim Murphy UBC.
... Cre is often expressed from a randomly integrated transgene, but very few insertion sites are known. Random transgene integration can disrupt an endogenous mouse gene and cause unanticipated side effects. Since hemizygous mice have a wildtype chromosome present, using hemizygous instead of homozygou ...

Because specific groups of muscle fibres are no longer being stimulated they also die resulting in muscles wast ...
