Abstract
Although the laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is an indispensable experimental animal for biomedical research and drug development, the lack of embryonic stem cell lines hampers gene-knockout studies. Here we report the successful generation of insertional mutant rats using the Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system. This would benefit a variety of biomedical research fields for which the rat model is better suited than the mouse model.Entities:
