Abstract excerpt
The widespread availability of recombineered vectors and gene targeted embryonic stem cells from large-scale repositories facilitates the generation of mouse models for functional genetic studies. Southern blotting validates the structure of these targeted alleles produced by homologous recombination, as well as indicating any additional integrations of the vector into the genome. Traditionally this technique...
