abstractText | Transgenic mice generated with different DNA sequences were surveyed for possible homozygous mutant phenotypes. We found an embryonic lethal mutation in the transgenic mouse strain (MT-MYC12.4) containing the human c-myc gene. Embryos homozygous for the transgene die shortly after implantation. The strain MT-MYC12.4 carries approximately 50 tandem copies of the recombinant plasmid sequence. The 3' flanking sequence has been cloned and analyzed. It contains a unique sequence that has been conserved during evolution and maps to Chromosome (Chr) 9. This mutant has been designated Tg 9 (HSA-MYC). |
