Abstract excerpt
Gene targeting by homologous recombination allows the introduction of specific mutations into any cloned gene. This unit provides a protocol in which the gene of interest is inactivated by interrupting its coding sequence with a positive selectable marker. A negative selectable marker is included in the construct outside the region of target gene homology in order to enrich for clones in which the target gene has...
