Gene Targeting by Homologous Recombination in <i>Drosophila</i>
Drosophila offers many advantages as an experimental organism. However, in comparison with yeast and mouse, two other widely used eukaryotic model systems, Drosophila suffers fr...
High-Efficiency FLP and ΦC31 Site-Specific Recombination in Mammalian Cells
DNA site-specific recombinases (SSRs) such as Cre, FLPe, and phiC31, are powerful tools for analyzing gene function in vertebrates. While the availability of multiple high-effic...
Targeting Cre Recombinase to Specific Neuron Populations with Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Constructs
Transgenic mouse lines are characterized with Cre recombinase driven by promoters of CNS-specific genes using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) constructs. BAC-Cre construct...
Induction of Homologous Recombination in Mammalian Chromosomes by Using the I-<i>Sce</i>I System of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>
The mitochondrial intron-encoded endonuclease I-SceI of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has an 18-bp recognition sequence and, therefore, has a very low probability of cutting DNA, eve...
Enhancing Gene Targeting with Designed Zinc Finger Nucleases
Gene targeting—the process of gene replacement by homologous recombination—is a very useful but typically inefficient technique ( [1][1] ). A general method for improving the ef...
