In vivo enrichment of busulfan-resistant germ cells for efficient production of transgenic avian models

Abstract Most transgenic animals are generated using a genome-modified stem cell system and genome modification directly in embryos. Although this system is well-established in the development of transgenic animals, donor cell-derived transgenic animal production is inefficient in some cases. Especi...
