![]() | Capecchi, Mario R. | Gene targeting: an historical perspective | Our entry into what was going to become the field of gene targeting began in 1977. I was experimenting with the use of extremely small glass needles to inject DNA directly into the nuclei of living cells. The needles were controlled by hydraulically driven micro-manipulators and were directed into n... | Gene targeting -- History; Homologous recombination | 1998 |

![]() | Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R. | High frequency targeting of genes to specific sites in the mammalian genome | We corrected a defective gene residing in the chromosome of a mammalian cell by injecting into the nucleus copies of the same gene carrying a different mutation. We determined how the number, the arrangement, and the chromosomal position of the integrated gene, as well as the number of injected mo... | Homologous recombination; Mutant genes; Mammalian genome | 1986 |

![]() | Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Site-directed mutagenesis by gene targeting in mouse embryo-derived stem cells | We mutated, by gene targeting, the endogenous hypoxanthine phosphorlbosyl transferase (HPFlT) gene in mouse embryo-derived stem (ES) cells. A specialized construct of the neomycin resistance (NO') gene was introduced into an exon of a cloned fragment of the Hprf gene and used to transfect ES cell... | Site-directed mutagenesis; Hypoxanthine phosphorlbosyl transferase gene; HPFlT gene; Neomycin resistance gene; Homologous recombination; Mouse stem cells; Mouse embryo-derived stem cells | 1987 |
