Abstract excerpt
Recent studies indicated that retention of selectable marker cassettes in targeted Hox loci may cause unexpected phenotypes in mutant mice, due to neighborhood effects. However, the molecular mechanisms have been poorly investigated. Here, we analysed the effects of the targeted insertion of a PGK-neo cassette in the 3' untranslated region of Hoxa2. Even at this 3' position, the insertion resulted in homozygous...
