Two powerful transgenic techniques

Addition of genes by nuclear injection




Foreign DNA injected into pronucleus of fertilized egg
Place injected one-cell embryo back into oviduct
25-50% of time DNA integrates randomly into chromosome
Targeted mutagenesis




Embryonic stem cells
Integrate engineered gene into germ line
Homologous recombination may
Knockout constructs- nonfunctional gene exchanged for normal
gene by homologous recombination

identify locus responsible
for mutant phenotype
Dominant deletion
mutation at T locus
causes short tail.
