Abstract excerpt
Despite the importance of genome rearrangement in the etiology of cancer and human genetic disease, deletion mutations are poorly detectable by transgenic rodent mutagenicity tests. To facilitate the detection and molecular analysis of deletion mutations in vivo, we established a transgenic mouse model harboring a lambdaEG10 shuttle vector that includes the red and gam genes for Spi(-) (sensitive to P2...
