In-vitro Mutagenesis

15.9K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

6.3K
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Mouse Genetics

Background:

  • Inbred mouse strains are crucial models for genetic research.
  • Understanding genetic variation within these models is essential for interpreting experimental results.
  • Genomic copy-number variations (CNVs) are a known source of genetic diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate regional genomic copy-number differences between inbred mouse strains.
  • To identify common segmental polymorphisms in mouse genomes.
  • To assess the potential contribution of these polymorphisms to genetic variability and disease susceptibility.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized high-resolution Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) arrays for whole-genome analysis.
  • Analyzed DNA copy-number variations across the genomes of different inbred mouse strains.
  • Compared genomic profiles to identify segmental differences.

Main Results:

  • Discovered substantial differences in regional DNA content between inbred mouse strains.
  • Identified numerous common segmental DNA polymorphisms.
  • These polymorphisms represent significant variations in genomic architecture.

Conclusions:

  • Genomic copy-number differences are prevalent between inbred mouse strains.
  • Segmental polymorphisms contribute to genetic variability in mice.
  • These variations may underlie differences in susceptibility to pathological conditions.
