Gene Targeting Facility

GTFlogo

Since its inception in 1992 by Astar Winoto, with James Allison and David Raulet, the Gene Targeting Facility at UC Berkeley has generated hundreds of transgenic mice and made numerous gene-targeted mice. Recently, the facility has shifted to using Cas9/CRISPR-mediated gene targeting as this offers the ability to produce gene-targeted mice with unprecedented speed and ease.
