To transform the mice, you can:

1. inject the gene into the cells with microscopically small needles

2. use electroporation (an electical pulse that creates temporary pores in the plasma membranes of the cells that DNA can go through)

3. use a powerful virus

What do you have to do to successfully use our cloned gene to transform mice?

There is belief that you have to do it with the successful combination of dna with mice. If it isn't that, then you don't get the results you want to have with that object.

Have they ever cloned a animal?

Yes, scientists have successfully cloned animals such as sheep, cows, pigs, and mice. The most famous cloned animal is Dolly the sheep, who was cloned in 1996. Cloning technology has advanced since then and has been used for various research purposes.

A gene from a firefly


How are Jean knockout mice useful in determining the function of genes?

Knock out mice are produced by impairing or deleting a particular gene expression. Thus the gene function (which was deleted) can be tracked by studying this knock out and the control mice. Lets say a gene is suspected to trigger immune response against a pathogen, one can study this by infecting the wild type(normal) and knock out(specific gene deleted) mice and study the role of the gene.

The first cat and mice cloned?

In 1977, Karl IIlmensee created a mice with only one parent.On Oct 3, 1997, the Honolulu Technique created Cumulina the cloned mouse. She was cloned from cumulus cells (cells which surround developing egg cells) using traditional nuclear transfer. The nucleus was taken from the cumulus cell and implanted in an egg cell from another mouse.


Have mice been cloned?

of course those were they're first specimins. most of which died from phemonia or lived for 800 days


When the gene for rat somatotropin was injected into mouse eggs?

the gene integrated into the mice chromosomes and expressed itself; thus making the mice grow up to be larger than normal.


Can plant gene cloned to human gene?

Yes, but that does not mean that any viable creature might develop. There are very few limits to what genes can be inserted into what - quite a few creatures have gained fluorescing genes from jellyfish, including mice, and antifreeze genes from an arctic fish have been inserted into a soft fruit (raspberries I think).


What gene causes lupus?

it has been suggested that DNase1, part of the "junk" DNA in the nucleus, is responsible. I recall an experiment with mice where this gene was turned off and mice started presenting with signs of SLE.
