Abstract

Genetically modified (GM) mice are widely used in biomedical research because they can address complex questions in an in-vivo setting that could not otherwise be addressed in-vitro. Microinjection of zygotes remains the most common technique to generate GM animals to date. Here, we describe the targeted insertion (knock-in) of transgenes by microinjection of 1-cell or 2-cell stage embryos into the murine Rosa26 safe harbor.
