    • The Ter mutation in mice causes germ cell loss and testicular germ cell tumors. The characterization of the Ter phenotype and the identification of Dnd as the gene mutant in Ter by the Nadeau and Matin labs was supported by services provided by the core. Transgenic mice expressing Green Fluorescent Protein from a germ cell specific promoter (Oct4-GFP) constructed by the facility demonstrated that germ cells are fewer in the Ter mutants. Dnd was identified positively as the gene mutant in Ter by complementation of germ cell numbers with a Dnd transgene introduced into mice by the facility.

    • BAC transgene constructs were used by the Deneris lab to rescue the Pet1 mutant phenotype, and to express EYFP and Cre in serotonergic neurons of the brain. These experiments generated genetic reagents for the dissection of the function of brain-derived serotonin and beautifly illustrate the power of BAC transgenes.
