Question

Recall that constructs used for floxing a gene contain,
within one of the gene’s introns, two loxP sites flanking a gene for neomycin resistance (Fig. 18.11a). A
loxP site is only 34 base pairs long, as shown in the
following figure.
ATAACTTCGTATA ATGTATGC TATACGAAGTTAT
Inverted repeat Spacer Inverted repeat
Explain how you could use PCR to generate a neomycin resistance gene flanked by loxP sites, starting with
a plasmid containing a neor
gene. If you had the intron
of the target gene cloned in a plasmid vector, how
could you insert your PCR product into the intron?
