Abstract excerpt
There has been a significant increase in the use of C57BL/6N-derived ES cells for the production of gene knockout mice. However, the potential for germline transmission (GLT) from chimeras on this genetic background has been observed to be highly variable. Using coat color as an indicator of somatic chimerism to infer the extent of chimeric contribution to the germ cell population, even highly agouti...
