Science, 1994•science.orgDeletion of the promoter and the first exon of the DNA polymerase β gene (pol β) in the
mouse germ line results in a lethal phenotype. With the use of the bacteriophage-derived,
site-specific recombinase Cre in a transgenic approach, the same mutation can be
selectively introduced into a particular cellular compartment-in this case, T cells. The impact
of the mutation on those cells can then be analyzed because the mutant animals are viable.
