Abstract

This book reports the progress in gene transfer that has been made in various species, from Drosophila to higher mammals, including illustrative examples of germline gene transfer and tissue-specific somatic gene regulation in the mouse. Important new information regarding developmental control of gene transcription includes the delineation of distal elements, both cis and trans, controlling specific gene regulation. The book also offers an overview of vectors for gene transfer, including retroviral vectors and new retroviral packaging cell lines designed to minimize production of replication-competent virus.
