Abstract excerpt
Post-translational modifications to residues in core histones convey epigenetic information. Their function can be evaluated in amino acid substitution mutants, although to date this method has not been used in mice. To this end, we have evaluated gene targeting vectors designed for Cre recombinase-mediated conditional allelic replacement at the two unlinked genes encoding the histone variant H3.3. The...
