  • Injecting embryos
    Patent number: 8188334
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems that allow reliable multiplexed transformation of Drosophila embryos. The present invention provides methods and reagents that allow preparation of injection-quality nucleic acid samples and that allow simultaneous preparation of multiple such samples. The present invention provides systems for simultaneous processing of multiple injected embryos. The present invention provides methods for transformation of Drosophila embryos involving use of virginator strains that can be used to increase the efficiency of setting up the crosses needed to produce the eggs for the injections and for the crosses needed to screen for transformants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2012
    Assignee: Genetic Services, Inc.
    Inventors: Susan B. Zusman, Michael Tworoger
