Gene knockdown refers to techniques by which the expression of one or more of an organism's genes is reduced, either through genetic modification (a change in the DNA of one of the organism's chromosomes) or by treatment with a reagent such as a short DNA or RNA oligonucleotide with a sequence complementary to either an mRNA transcript or a gene. If genetic modification of DNA is done, the result is a "knockdown organism". If the change in gene expression is caused by an oligonucleotide binding to an mRNA or temporarily binding to a gene, this results in a temporary change in gene expression without modification of the chromosomal DNA and is referred to as a "transient knockdown".
In a transient knockdown, the binding of this oligonucleotide to the active gene or its transcripts causes decreased expression through blocking of transcription (in the case of gene-binding), degradation of the mRNA transcript (e.g. by small interfering RNA (siRNA) or RNase-H dependent antisense) or blocking either mRNA translation, pre-mRNA splicing sites or nuclease cleavage sites used for maturation of other functional RNAs such as miRNA (e.g. by Morpholino oligos or other RNase-H independent antisense). The most direct use of transient knockdowns for learning about a gene that has been sequenced, but has an unknown or incompletely known function, an experimental approach known as reverse genetics. Researchers draw inferences from how the knockdown differs from individuals in which the gene of interest is operational. Transient knockdowns are often used in developmental Biology because oligos can be injected into single-celled zygotes and will be present in the daughter cells of the injected cell through embryonic development.
So far knockdown organisms with permanent alterations in their DNA have been engineered chiefly for research purposes. Also known simply as knockdowns, these organisms are most commonly used for reverse genetics, especially in species such as mice or rats for which transient knockdown technologies cannot easily be applied.

feedback regulation
gene family/homologue
promoter silencing
mRNA
The creation of mRNA is called transcription. mRNA is being transcribed from the DNA template.
The mRNA attaches itself to a ribosome.
mRNA is made up of anticodons

To achieve a knockdown texture on walls using a knockdown texture tool, the best technique is to first apply a thick layer of joint compound or texture mix to the wall using a trowel or roller. Then, use the knockdown texture tool to lightly press and drag across the wet texture to create a textured pattern. Finally, wait for the texture to partially dry before lightly smoothing it out with the knockdown tool to create the desired knockdown effect.

Yes, "knockdown" is an onomatopoeia because the word sounds like the action it describes, which is something being knocked down or falling over. The sound of "knockdown" mimics the physical act of an object being forcefully toppled or collapsed.

To create a knockdown texture on a ceiling, first apply a thin layer of joint compound using a trowel or roller. Then, use a knockdown knife to lightly flatten the peaks of the texture. Allow the texture to partially dry before knocking it down to achieve the desired look.

To achieve a knockdown texture on a wall, first apply a thin layer of joint compound with a trowel. Then, use a knockdown knife to lightly flatten the texture. Allow it to partially dry before lightly smoothing it out with a drywall knife. Finally, prime and paint the wall for a finished look.

To achieve a knockdown texture on walls or ceilings, first apply a thin layer of joint compound or texture mix with a trowel. Then, use a knockdown knife to lightly flatten the texture before it dries completely. This creates a textured finish that is popular for adding visual interest to walls and ceilings.
To achieve a Homax wall texture knockdown finish on a wall, follow these steps: Prepare the wall by cleaning and repairing any imperfections. Apply the Homax wall texture using a texture sprayer or roller. Allow the texture to set for a few minutes. Use a knockdown knife to flatten and smooth out the texture, creating a knockdown effect. Let the texture dry completely before painting or finishing the wall.
