Knockout mice are so important for, well, nearly everything. Did they have anything to do with knock in technology as well? I am glad to see that a bit of important basic research won the prize.

However, figuring out that homologous recombination can be used to introduce new genetic material into a mammalian genome and the use of embryonic stem cells to introduce genes into the germ line are not small accomplishments!

Congrats to them! What matters most is that they have developed technology that has lead to mouse models of human diseases. Knocking out genes is nice, but understanding the role that the gene has in the development of the disease more important. Without understanding the function of the gene, we won't fully understand the protein function. I’m surprised this type of work is Nobel worthy! Congrats to them!
