Gene trapping

Gene trapping is a high-throughput approach that is used to introduce insertional mutations across an organism's genome.

Method

Trapping is performed with gene trap vectors whose principal element is a gene trapping cassette consisting of a promoterless reporter gene and/or selectable genetic marker, flanked by an upstream 3' splice site (splice acceptor; SA) and a downstream transcriptional termination sequence (polyadenylation sequence; polyA).

When inserted into an intron of an expressed gene, the gene trap cassette is transcribed from the endogenous promoter of that gene in the form of a fusion transcript in which the exon(s) upstream of the insertion site is spliced in frame to the reporter/selectable marker gene. Since transcription is terminated prematurely at the inserted polyadenylation site, the processed fusion transcript encodes a truncated and nonfunctional version of the cellular protein and the reporter/selectable marker. Thus, gene traps simultaneously inactivate and report the expression of the trapped gene at the insertion site, and provide a DNA tag (gene trap sequence tag, GTST) for the rapid identification of the disrupted gene.[1][2]

Access

The International Gene Trap Consortium is centralizing the data and supplies modified cell lines.[3]

gollark: Not my phone.
gollark: I mean, you're actually being emulated on one of the GTech™ computing servers.
gollark: This is FURTHER evidence that I made Macron.
gollark: I tried with a prompt:> My opinion on apioforms is ~~not real~~<|endoftext|>I think bees have been mostly created.<|endoftext|>Who doesn't save their money? Just buy bees?<|endoftext|>The apioformic database is actually NOT to be tolerated.<|endoftext|>I'll make macron and macron on bees.<|endoftext|>I think this is a separate token for some reason. I'll have to make macron and macron on osmarks.tk.<|endoftext|>I can't really, I don't really like this.<|endoftext|>I'll make macron and then make macron and macron.<|endoftext|>Anyway, I think I should probably make an apioformic database somehow.<|endoftext|>Nim is for wimps.<|endoftext|>I can't tell, however LyricLy is on my phone.<|endoftext|>I don't like this thus no.<|endoftext|><@!2930660666066606666606688> are inescapable cryoapiaristic beeoids.<
