Rat germline-competent embryonic stem (ES) cell lines have been available since 2008, and rat models with targeted mutations have been successfully generated using ES cell-based genome targeting technology. This chapter will focus on the procedures of gene targeting in rat ES cells.
Keywords: ES cell selection; Gene targeting; Nucleofection; Rat ES cells.
