Abstract excerpt
Animal models of genetic diseases obtained by transferring human mutated genes in the mouse are widely used in biomedical based research. They constitute efficient tools to study mechanisms underlying abnormal phenotypes. Unfortunately, the phenotype of the transgene is often obscured by the genetic background of the embryonic stem cells and that of the recipient strain used to create the transgenic line. It is...
