Abstract

Manipulation of the mouse genome by activating or inactivating the gene has contributed to the understanding of the function of the gene in the subset of cells during embryonic development or postnatal period of life. Most of all, gene targeting, which largely depends on the availability of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, is the milestone of development of animal models for human disease. Recombinase-mediated genome modification (Cre-LoxP and Flp-Frt etc) and the ligand-dependent regulation system, more accurate and elaborate manipulation tools, have been successfully developed and applied to dissect the mechanisms governing complex biological processes and to understand the role of protein in temporal-and spatial aspects of development. As technologies concerning refined manipulation of mouse genome are developed, they are expected to open new opportunities to better understand the diverse in vivo functions of genes.

생쥐 유전자를 과발현 시키거나 제거하는 유전자 조작 기술의 발달은 배 발생 단계나 출생 후 특정한 세포에서의 특정 단계에서의 유전자 기능을 이해하는 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 특히, 높은 상동 재조합 활성을 가지는 생쥐 배 줄기세포를 이용한 유전자 적중 기법은 인간 질환을 이해하는데 필수적인 동물 모델 개발에 중요한 기여를 하였다. 최근에는 Cre과 Flp와 같은 염기서열 특이적 재조합 효소와 라이겐드에 의한 조절 시스템의 도입으로 좀 더 정확하고 정교한 유전자 발현 조절을 위해 개발되어 복잡한 생명현상을 지배하는 메카니즘과 시간과 공간에서 작동하는 유전자의 기능을 이해하는데 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 마우스 게놈을 세밀하게 조작할 수 있는 새로운 분자생물학적 도구의 적용으로 in vivo상에서 유전자의 다양한 기능을 좀 더 정확하게 이해할 수 있는 기회가 열릴 것으로 기대된다.
