Abstract excerpt
Cells homozygous for neo-expressing mutations can be derived by culturing heterozygotes with elevated G418. We demonstrate that this strategy is significantly less efficient if hyg is substituted for neo. Therefore, to introduce additional mutations Cre recombinase was used to remove floxed neo from both alleles of homozygotes at two different loci. The rate-determining step in Cre excision appeared independent...
