The perfect host: a mouse host embryo facilitating more efficient germ line transmission of genetically modified embryonic stem cells.

There is a continual need to improve efficiency in creating precise genetic modifications in mice using embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We describe a novel approach resulting in 100% germline transmission from competent injected ESCs. We developed an F1 mouse host embryo (Perfect Host, PH) that selecti...
