Is BAC Transgenesis Obsolete? State of the Art in the Era of Designer Nucleases

DNA constructs based on bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) are frequently used to generate transgenic animals as they reduce the influence of position effects and allow predictable expression patterns for genes whose regulatory sequences are not fully identified. Despite these advantages BAC tr...
