<p>The present invention provides novel methods for isolating rat embryo-derived cells and modifying the genome of the rat cells which typically comprise the steps of: constructing a DNA molecule in which desired sequence modifications are contained in a segment of DNA (a "targeting DNA); introducing the targeting DNA construct into the cell (e.g., by microinjection, electroporation, transfection, or calcium phosphate precipitation); and selecting cells in which the desired sequence modifications have been introduced into the genome via homologous recombination.</p> |
