Constructions génétiques pour animal modèle
Creation of tailor-made constructs for the generation of animal models (complex targeting constructs, BAC transgenes, BAC stitching)
Recombineering refers to recombination-mediated genetic engineering and specifies a well-defined and precise modification of DNA. This outstanding technology was developed by the group of A. Francis Stewart at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany in the late 1990s.
