Customized Transgenic / Genetically Modified Research Models

Transgenic models

Customized genetically modified (transgenic) models heavily impact the scientific value of your studies, as the models are designed to specifically address your scientific questions while avoiding the unrevealed caveats possible in genetically modified models.

Models at genOway:

  • Genetically modified micerats and cell lines
  • Gene Knockout, Knockin, point mutation and humanization
  • Inducible and constitutive expression

Technologies we use:

  • Homologous recombination (HR) and nuclease-based gene editing (e.g. CRISPR/Cas9)
  • Site-specific recombination (SSR), including RMCEFLEx, and Cre-ERt2
  • Tetracycline-based systems (e.g., Tet-On/Off)
  • Internal ribosome entry site (IRES)

Intellectual property:

We own licenses on all technlogies used to develop your model. This provides you the freedom to operate on your model, and allows you to retain ownership and patent it. (License your model.)

 

Our customized transgenic mouse, rat and cell line models

Customized mouse models

Follow the links to navigate to customized mouse models we can develop for you.*

Knockout mouse model
Constitutive KO
Permanent inactivation of the target gene, and total absence of the protein in the whole animal, in every cell of the organism
Conditional KO
Tissue-specific KO

Gene of interest is inactivated in specific cell types in a certain tissue

Inducible KO

Gene of interest can be temporally controlled at a given time-point in embryonic, post-natal or adult animals

Functional KO
One or more mutated nucleotides causing loss of function of a given protein

Knockin mouse model
Constitutive KI
Add a gene sequence of interest to an endogenous locus
Quick KI

Controlled gene expression by targeting permissive loci Rosa26 or Hprt

Point mutation KI
One or more constitutively mutated nucleotides affecting the function of a given protein (gain/loss of function)
Reporter KI

With inserted fluorescent, bioluminescent proteins or biochemical tags

Humanization KI
Substitute a mouse gene sequence with the human counterpart

* In addition, we are running, in collaboration with customers, several R&D programs for other than the above mouse model developments. If you are interested in joining such a program, please reach out to us.

Customized rat models

Conditional KO
Tissue-specific Knockout

Gene of interest is inactivated in specific cell types in a certain tissue

Inducible Knockout

Gene of interest can be temporally controlled at a given time-point in embryonic, post-natal or adult animals

Point mutation Knockin
One or more mutated nucleotides causing gain or loss of function of a given protein
Quick Knockin

* We are running, in collaboration with customers, several R&D programs to develop more challenging rat models. If you are interested in developing innovative rat models through partnerships, please reach out to us.

Custom cell line models

Inducible Knockdowns

Inducible, and reversible, target protein degradation upon treatment

Point mutation Knockins
Constitutively mutated nucleotides affecting the function of a given protein (gain/loss of function)
Reporter Knockins

Insertion of fluorescent, bioluminescent proteins or biochemical tags

Quick Knockins
Controlled gene expression by targeting permissive loci such as Rosa26
"Simple" Knockins

Add a gene sequence of interest to an endogenous locus
