Abstract excerpt
Gene targeting technology in mice by homologous recombination has become an important method to generate loss-of-function of genes in a predetermined locus. Although the inactivation is limited to irreversible alteration of chromosomal DNA and a surprising variety of genes have given unexpected and disappointing results, modification of the basic technology now provides additional choices for a more specific and...
