Abstract

Novel vectors are described that incorporate, inter alia, a novel 3′ gene trap cassette which can be used to efficiently trap and identify previously unknown cellular genes. Vectors incorporating the described 3′ gene trap cassette find particular application in gene discovery and in the production of mutated cells and animals.
