Efficient generation of transgenic mice with intact yeast artificial chromosomes by intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
The production of animals with large transgenes is an increasingly valuable tool in biotechnology and for genetic studies, including the characterization and manipulation of large genes and polygenic traits. In the present study, we describe an intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) method for the stable incorporation and phenotypic expression of large yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) constr...
متن کاملA method for the generation of YAC transgenic mice by pronuclear microinjection.
Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) represent the latest generation of vectors which have the great advantage of large insert size. The introduction of YACs into mammalian cells and organisms has become an important goal, since it offers the potential to study the control of large and complex transcription units and identify genes by complementation. Microinjection into the nucleus is the most ...
متن کاملFunctional screening and complex traits: human 21q22.2 sequences affecting learning in mice.
Libraries of the mammalian genome have generally been propagated in single cells and have been used for gene discovery through in vitro analyses. We have expanded upon this concept by the creation of panels of YAC transgenic mice propagating targeted megabase regions of the genome. Such a panel of mice can be called an 'in vivo library' and genes can be identified based on functional screens of...
متن کامل(YACs) in studies of mammalian development: Production of f3-globin locus YAC mice carrying human globin developmental mutants
To test whether yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) can be used in the investigation of mammalian development, we analyzed the phenotypes of transgenic mice carrying two types of ,B-globin locusYAC developmental mutants: (i) mice carrying a G -> A transition at position -117 of the Ay gene, which is responsible for the Greek Ay form of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH), and (ii)...
متن کاملHuman huntingtin derived from YAC transgenes compensates for loss of murine huntingtin by rescue of the embryonic lethal phenotype.
Huntington disease (HD) is caused by expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in exon 1 of a novel gene. The HD protein (huntingtin) plays a critical role in early embryonic development since homozygous targeted disruption of the murine HD gene results in embryonic lethality by day 7.5. To rescue this phenotype by transgene based huntingtin expression it is therefore essential to express the pro...
