On target : In 2007, Oliver Smithies was one of the scientists awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for “their discoveries of principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells”. Here he talks about his work on homologous recombination and gene targeting, as well as giving advice about, among other things, home‐made lab apparatus.
