abstractText | Embryonic stem cells offer unprecedented opportunities for random or targeted genome alterations in the mouse. We present here an efficient strategy to create chromosome-specific loss of heterozygosity in embryonic stem cells. The combination of this method with genome-wide mutagenesis in ES cells (using chemical mutagens or gene-trap vectors) opens up the possibility for in vitro or in vivo functional screening of recessive mutations in the mouse. |
