Services to include: (1) Cloning & Construction of Targeting Vector for Hybrid 129S6/SvEvTac/C57BL/6 cell line, including analysis of gene structure, screening strategy design, probe design, isolation and confirmation of genomic BAC clone, targeting vector construction including insertion and confirmation of homology arms, flanking of the genomic targeting region by Lox-P sites for Cre-excision, insertion and confirmation of Neomycin selection cassette flanked by FRT sites for positive selection, and preparation of DNA for electroporation; (2) Electroporation of Hybrid 129S6/SvEvTac/C57BL/6 ES cells with targeting vector and Tissue Culture Work to isolate antibiotic-resistant clones, and: (3) Screening of ES Cell Clones to identify positives, including preparation of DNA from individual ES clones and confirmation of targeting events by PCR and Southern Blotting.
