Abstract: Methods of generating modified embryos and mammals by introduction of donor cells into an early stage embryo are provided, such that the resulting embryo and animal generated therefrom has a significant contribution to all tissues from the donor cells and is capable of transmitting the donor cell DNA.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are described for making phenotypically female fertile animals from XY donor cells and suitable host embryos. Culture media and methods are provided for maintaining XY donor cells in culture that after introduction into a host embryo and gestation in a suitable host will result in fertile XY female animals. Methods and compositions are described for making fertile female animals in an F0 generation from a donor XY cell and a host embryo, as are methods for making F1 progeny that are homozygous for a modification from a heterozygous F0 fertile male and a heterozygous F0 fertile female sibling.

Abstract: Genetically modified mice and nucleic acid constructs for making the genetically modified mice are described. A first mouse having a gene encoding an activator (such as a Cre recombinase) operably linked to a developmentally-regulated promoter (such as a Nanog promoter) is provided. A second mouse having a toxic responder gene (such as a gene encoding diphtheria toxin A) is provided, where the toxic gene is expressed only in the presence of an activator. Embryos from a mating of the first and the second mouse are provided as host embryos suitable for generating mice from donor cells introduced into the host embryos. Ablating the ICM of a mouse embryo physically, chemically, or genetically is described, as well as making FO generation mice that are substantially or in full derived from donor cells, employing a host mouse embryo with an ablated or nonproliferating ICM.
