Abstract:
Using Sanger's technique and synthetic oligonucleotides derived from the known structure of cDNA, complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic copy of the mouse TNF-alpha gene has been determined. The length of the gene from transcription initiation site down to polyadenylation signal is about 2620 bp. Comparison with the previously described cDNA sequence revealed existence of 4 exons and 3 introns in the positions homologous to those of human TNF gene. The fourth exon codes for 88% amino acids of mature TNF-alpha.

01:16In-vitro Mutagenesis
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.
02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
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.
