Retroviral gene trapping is a powerful approach to perform insertional mutagenesis in the mouse. In addition to mutating genes, the gene trap also provides information about the pattern of expression of the trapped gene via B-gal expression as well as providing a method to clone the mutated gene. 1, record 2, English, - gene%20trapping

La recherche de gènes essentiels au développement embryonnaire de la souris a été abordée par la mise en œuvre de stratégies variées. Comparée à toutes ces approches, la stratégie de piégeage de gènes présente un important avantage : elle associe l'isolement et la caractérisation moléculaire d'un gène à l'étude de son profil d'expression ainsi qu'à la détermination de sa fonction in vivo. 1, record 2, French, - piegeage%20de%20g%C3%A8nes

La recherche de gènes du développement par «piégeage» de gènes a pour but la création de mutations dans des gènes actifs au cours du développement de l'embryon de souris, en vue de leur caractérisation. Ces mutations sont obtenues par l'insertion, dans le génome de la souris, d'un vecteur qui comprend un gène rapporteur (qui code la beta-galactosidase), dépourvu de promoteur et de séquences régulatrices. Ce rapporteur ne s'exprime donc que s'il est inséré en phase dans un gène actif. Nous avons récemment cloné les séquences flanquantes de trois de ces insertions et identifié les gènes correspondants. L'analyse de l'expression de ces gènes au cours du développement ainsi que de l'effet de la mutation d'insertion est en cours. 2, record 2, French, - piegeage%20de%20g%C3%A8nes

Recent experiments have shown that gene amplification can be mediated by submicroscopic, autonomously replicating, circular extrachromosomal molecules. We refer to those molecules as episomes... The experiments... explore the way episomes are formed and their fate in the cell over time. The data reveal that in our system the episomes are initially 250 kilobases, but gradually enlarge until they become double minute chromosomes.

The human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) genome encodes at least seven groups of viral proteins. These groups of proteins include the three classes of polypeptides present in the majority of animal retroviruses : 1. structural, nonenvelope polypeptides encoded by the gag gene; 2. enzymes required for virion replication(reverse transcriptase/r) and for cleavage of viral precursor proteins(protease/pr), both encoded by the pol gene; 3. envelope polypeptides encoded by env gene. In addition, HIV's possess genes that encode four sets of polypeptides not found in the majority of typical retroviruses. These include a transactivating regulator of RNA translation(tat), a cis-acting downregulator of RNA transcription(nef), a regulator that modulates the expression of structural proteins(rev), a protein that modulates viral infectivity(vif), and two proteins(vpr, vpu) whose functions are still unclear.

These techniques are divided into two categories :(1) manipulation of the genetics(use of mutagens and selection, or more recently gene manipulation) in order to alter the regulation mechanisms or produce more copies of the gene responsible;(2) manipulation of the environment(addition of inducers, or removal or avoidance of end product repressors).
