The PiggyBAC Transposon - Generating Transgenic Mice with Consistent Expression
Feb 23, 2021
In most experiments, scientists will try to minimize the number of independent variables so as not to confuse the results of an experiment. Due to the varying level of gene expression achieved by traditional pronuclear injection (PNI), using the offspring from a transgenic mouse created via PNI may not be the best option. Read More >

Pronuclear Injection-based Transgenic Mouse Model Generation
Feb 02, 2021
Transgenic mice are important tools for scientists researching heritable traits and diseases in human populations. In traditional transgenics, the human gene (packaged in a transgenic construct) can be added to the mouse genome with a simple pronuclear injection into the male pronucleus. Read More >

How Knockout Mice are Developed with Traditional Gene Targeting
Jan 15, 2021
From the creation of the first knockout (KO) mouse, scientists have come extremely far. CRISPR technologies have quickly become a leading method used by genetic knockout scientists today, in part due to the method’s short turnaround. Read More >
