Compartment

Compartment

(Science: biology) in the insect wing, for example: there are two compartments, anterior and posterior, each containing several clones, but clones do not cross the boundary.

It seems from studies with homoeotic mutants that cells in different compartments are expressing different sets of genes. The evidence for such developmental compartments in vertebrates is sparse at present.

Re: how to knock out a gene?

... and (2) how does the delivery group on the end of the oligo help the Vivo-Morpholino get from the extracellular space into the cytosol/nuclear compartment of cells. For (1), Morpholinos bind to complementary sequences in RNA and get in the way of other processes, like pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA ...
