Abstract excerpt
Gene inactivation has become the gold standard for determining gene function in the mouse. Many genes inactivated in the germ line cause early lethality that precludes phenotypic assessment at a later time point. Conditional gene inactivation using Cre recombinase expressed via a tissue specific promoter/enhancer allows phenotypic analyses of selected tissues, but lacks temporal control. Recent development of the...
