Efficient repetitive alteration of the mouse Huntington's disease gene by management of background in the tag and exchange gene targeting strategy.

Abstract excerpt

The introduction of subtle mutations to predetermined locations in the mouse genome has aided in the assessment of gene function and the precise modeling of inherited disorders. Subtle mutations can be engineered into the mouse genome by the tag and exchange gene targeting strategy (Askew et al., 1993; Stacey et al., 1994; Wu et al., 1994). This two-step method involves both a positive and a negative selection....
