Cre recombinase microinjection for single-cell tracing and localised gene targeting

Tracing and manipulating cells in embryos are essential to understand development. Lipophilic dye microinjections, viral transfection and iontophoresis have been key to map the origin of the progenitor cells that form the different organs in the postimplantation mouse embryo. These techniques requir...
