Abstract excerpt
FLP/FRT-induced mitotic recombination provides a powerful method for creating genetic mosaics in Drosophila and for discerning the function of recessive genes in a heterozygous individual. Here we show that mitotic recombination can be reproducibly induced in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, by Cre/loxP technology, at frequencies ranging from 4.2 x 10(-5) (Snrpn) to 7.0 x 10(-3) (D7Mit178) for single allelic loxP...
