摘要: RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful strategy for studying the phenotypic consequences of reduced gene expression levels in model systems. To develop method rapid characterization developmental dysregulation, we tested use RNAi ‘‘transient transgenic’’ knockdown mRNA mouse embryos. These methods included lentiviral infection as well transposition using Sleeping Beauty (SB) and PiggyBac (PB) transposable element This approach can be useful validation putative mutant loci, demonstrate by confirming that Prdm16 phenocopies ENU-induced cleft palate (CP) mutant, csp1. attractive an alternative to targeting embryonic stem cells, it simple yields information matter weeks. Of three methodologies tested, PB transposon system produced high numbers transgenic embryos with expected phenotype, demonstrating its utility screening method.
