Production of transgenic mice with yeast artificial chromosomes.
Techniques are now available that allow the transfer of intact yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) DNA into transgenic mice. Coupled with the ability to perform mutagenesis on YAC sequences by homologous recombination in yeast, they enable the analysis of large genes or multigenic loci in vivo. This system has been used to study the developmental regulation of the human beta-globin locus.
