Abstract excerpt
We developed a system for tracing DNA adducts in targeted mutagenesis (TATAM) and investigated the prevalence and types of consequent mutations. Targeted mutagenesis methods site-specifically replace endogenous DNA bases with bases carrying synthetic adducts using targeting vectors. The TATAM system was enabled by introduction of site-specific DNA double strand breaks (DSB), which strongly enhanced targeting...
