Primer pairs will amplify sequences present as a single copy in the mouse genome with the Universal Genotyping Protocol. Includes: b-Galactosidase (LacZ); cre-recombinase; CFP; diphtheria toxin; dsRED; Fabpi-200; Fabpi-500; flp recombinase; GFP/BFP/YFP; human growth hormone (complete); human growth hormone (transcriptional stop); luciferase (click-beetle); luciferase (firefly); neomycin phosphotransferase; SRY (male-specific); tTA (tet-on). - [Read PCR Genotyping Primer Pairs Protocols]
The protocol gives general considerations for the design of targeting vectors for transgenic mice. The protocol shares tips in the design of knock-out and knock-in vectors and some of their strategies for producing homologously recombined embryonic stem cells.
