Recombineering Reagent
Protocols
Below you'll see a short description of each protocol and a link to a PDF file for
download.
-
Recombineering protocol 1
-
General protocol for how to use the DY380 strain for recombineering. Included is
how to perform the heat-shock, how to make electrocompetent cells, and how to prepare
the DNA for recombineering experiments.
-
Recombineering protocol 2
-
Explains how to make a conditional knock-out vector using the EL350 strain. Basically,
as a piece of genomic DNA is retrieved from a BAC into a plasmid vector followed
by two rounds of targeting using loxP-flanked (floxed) neo cassettes.
-
Recombineering protocol 3
-
Explains how to use the galK positive and counterselection scheme to make
essentially any BAC modification (e.g. point mutations, deletions, and insertions).

Recombineering protocol 4
-
Explains how to design a good strategy for a conditional knock-out project, including
several important issues you should consider in the design process.
