## Abstract Summary: In gene targeting studies of the PraderβWilli syndrome (PWS)/Angelman syndrome (AS) domain in mouse ES cells, we recovered only recombinants with the paternal allele for constructs at exons 2 or 3 of the imprinted, maternally silenced __SnurfβSnrpn__ gene. These sites lie close

Mice with defined genetic defects can now be generated using gene targeting technology based on the successful generation of mouse embryonic stem cells with the potential for germ line transmission, and the development of methods for detection of homologous recombination.
By cotransfecting plasmids carrying particular mutations in the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene into Nicotiana plumbaginifolia protoplasts and by monitoring the recombination rates using a recently developed transient assay, we were able to obtain insights into the mechanism of extrachromosomal recomb
## Abstract Summary: We report an improved vector, pCAGGSβFLPe, for transient expression of the enhanced FLP recombinase in mouse ES cells and oocytes. In standard transfection experiments, about 6% of total ES colonies showed FLP recombination, albeit with mosaicism within each colony. After micro
