Abstract excerpt
The increasing use of ES cell lines from strains other than 129, in particular C57BL/6, has greatly reduced the time taken to generate gene knockouts on a defined genetic background. Generally, C57BL/6 ES cell lines transmit less efficiently through the germline than 129 lines; consequently the burden on animal husbandry at this stage is increased. Genotyping sperm from chimaeric males may be used to identify...
