Genome manipulation by homologous recombination in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

By utilising a cell's recombinational machinery, researchers in many different model organisms have been able to perform gene targeting experiments in which specific sequence alterations are introduced into virtually any endogenous gene. Not only can functional knock-outs be generated by gene targeting, interesting alleles with mutations encoding specific amino acid replacements can also be made. A practical gene...
