Flexible, fast and selective genetic manipulation of the vertebrate CNS with misPiggy
In utero electroporation is increasingly used for manipulation of gene expression in the mammalian central nervous system. Here we created a transposon-based single plasmid system, that allows long-term conditional loss- and gain-of-function experiments across major CNS cell types. The system is widely applicable across species, allowing fast, flexible and cheap cell manipulation in previously non-transgenic species.
