Gene cloning (in 2 months, or less)
- construct the probe, screen the library and isolate clones (genomic BAC or cDNA), or retrieve appropriate sequences from public libraries
- verify clone inserts by Southern and/or PCR technology and appropriate sequencing
Desired origin (mouse strain):
129/Sv C57BL/6N BALB/c
Other (specify):
Is the full sequence known/published:
Yes Don’t know No
Type of sequence:
cDNA Genomic
Remarks:

Vector construction (in 5-6 months, or less)
- establish the targeting and PCR screening strategies, subclone DNA fragments
- construct the vector (& PCR control vector for targeting in embryonic stem cells)

For complex vectors, please contact either:
stefan.selbert@polygene.ch Tel. (direct line) +41 44 828 63 83 or
doron.shmerling@polygene.ch Tel. (direct line) +41 44 828 63 82

Remarks:


ES cell transfection (in 2-3 months, or less)
