A Universal Vector for High-Efficiency Multi-Fragment Recombineering of BACs and Knock-In Constructs
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is an increasing need for more efficient generation of transgenic constructs. Here we present a universal multi-site Gateway vector for use in recombineering reactions. Using transgenic mouse models, we show its use for the generation of BAC transgenics and targeting vectors. The modular nature of the vector allows for rapid modification of constructs to generate different versions of the same construct. As such it will help streamline the generation of series of related transgenic models.

A simplified counter-selection recombineering protocol for creating fluorescent protein reporter constructs directly from C. elegans fosmid genomic clones
BACKGROUND Recombineering is a genetic engineering tool that enables facile modification of large episomal clones, e.g. BACs, fosmids. We have previously adapted this technology to generate, directly from fosmid-based genomic clones, fusion gene reporter constructs designed to investigate gene expression patterns in C. elegans. In our adaptation a rpsL-tet(A) positive/negative-selection cassett...
متن کاملA highly efficient recombineering-based method for generating conditional knockout mutations.
Phage-based Escherichia coli homologous recombination systems have recently been developed that now make it possible to subclone or modify DNA cloned into plasmids, BACs, or PACs without the need for restriction enzymes or DNA ligases. This new form of chromosome engineering, termed recombineering, has many different uses for functional genomic studies. Here we describe a new recombineering-bas...
متن کاملCombination of overlapping bacterial artificial chromosomes by a two-step recombinogenic engineering method.
Recombinogenic engineering or recombineering is a powerful new method to engineer DNA without the need for restriction enzymes or ligases. We report here a general method for using recombineering to combine overlapping bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) to build larger, unified BACs. In order to test the feasibility of using recombineering to combine two large DNA fragments (>20 kb), we co...
متن کاملCounter-selection recombineering of the baculovirus genome: a strategy for seamless modification of repeat-containing BACs
Recombineering is employed to modify large DNA clones such as fosmids, BACs and PACs. Subtle and seamless modifications can be achieved using counter-selection strategies in which a donor cassette carrying both positive and negative markers inserted in the target clone is replaced by the desired sequence change. We are applying counter-selection recombineering to modify bacmid bMON14272, a reco...
متن کاملRecombineering, transfection, Western, IP and ChIP methods for protein tagging via gene targeting or BAC transgenesis.
Protein tagging offers many advantages for proteomic and regulomic research. Ideally, protein tagging is equivalent to having a high affinity antibody for every chosen protein. However, these advantages are compromised if the tagged protein is overexpressed, which is usually the case from cDNA expression vectors. Physiological expression of tagged proteins can be achieved by gene targeting to k...
