Abstract excerpt
We developed an experimental system for studying genome instability caused by fragile X (CGG)n repeats in mammalian cells. Our method uses a selectable cassette carrying the HyTK gene under the control of the FMR1 promoter with (CGG)n repeats in its 5' UTR, which is integrated into the unique RL5 site in murine erythroid leukemia cells. Carrier-size (CGG)n repeats markedly elevated the frequency of reporter...
