Core B - Molecular Engineering

The Molecular Engineering Core will function to generate targeting cassettes for the production of both transgenic and knockout animals. One of the greatest obstacles for investigators who wish to use mouse genetics to study their gene of interest is in the generation of DNA-targeting constructs. Core B will:

 

  • Advise participating investigators on the generation and design of DNA constructs that are optimal for their studies
  • Construct the necessary targeting cassettes
  • Assist in the development of genotyping protocols for the resulting mice.
