Why the gene is there is a complex question. It may be part of some other metabolic pathways, or it may be just a way evolution found to fulfill a function of the cell. About turning it off, this approach is again, complex. We need to perform knock-out experiments in model organisms first, to understand the overall function of the gene. |
