Rapid genotyping of newborn gene mutant mice.

Abstract excerpt

One important aspect of utilizing transgenic mice is the need to genotype them in order to distinguish mice that carry a disrupted gene or a transgene from mice that do not. Current methods for genotyping include isolation of genomic DNA from tail biopsies followed by PCR amplification. Particularly, both digestion of tail tissue using proteinase K as well as resuspension of purified DNA are time-consuming and...
