Biotechnol. 20:2002;1030-1034 The endogenous Waxy locus was repeatedly targeted by ends-out targeting utilizing generic positive and negative selectable markers. Even with negative selection, only 1% of the selected events were true targeting events suggesting that random integration of T-DNA vectors greatly interfered with targeted donor integration.

However, the high targeting frequency reported in [8] was not observed, possibly because the expression level of the target genes did not allow selection conditions as stringent as the ones used in that study.

Genes Dev. 16:2002;1568-1581 In this report, we firmly established the notion that the whole-organism targeting scheme should be generally applicable for targeted mutagenesis in Drosophila. Five loci were successfully modified by two schemes on the basis of ends-in targeting, more importantly the 'two-step allelic replacement' scheme. In this scheme, a second rare-cutting endonuclease, I-CreI, was expressed to induce recombination between the target gene duplication, which gave rise to a single copy of the target gene carrying a point mutation. Several parameters were also identified that affected gene-targeting efficiency.

Genetics. 161:2002;1125-1136 This is the first report of a targeting success outside of the Golic laboratory. For a gene that has been subjected to ten years of random mutagenesis, a mutant was finally recovered by gene targeting.
