TY - GEN T1 - Chemotaxis based enrichment for transgenic animals containing the rol-6 marker AU - Carter, John L AU - Morales, Rafael AU - Johnson, PhD, Steven M DO - 10.17912/kedf-yn42 UR - http://beta.micropublication.org/journals/biology/kedf-yn42/ AB - Transgenic organisms are organisms that have had foreign genes introduced into them. Making transgenic animals is a standard genetic method to test gene expression (Boulin and Hobert 2012). It is easy to make transgenic C. elegans by injecting a DNA construct of interest into the syncytial arm of the gonad and then looking for transgenic progeny (Evans 2006). Transgenes become arranged into extra-chromosomal arrays when introduced into the worms, and not every cell receives or propagates the array resulting in mosaic animals (Yochem and Herman 2005) (Fig.1 A).
