Figure 4.
Colony PCR based detection for putative homozygous mutants indicating the positions of detect primers (FD2 and RD1). Lanes 1 to 7 show PCR analysis on independent colonies. Two possible situations indicated by desired and alternative outcome are shown in the diagram. In the gel picture, lanes marked 4 and 7 indicate an expected outcome situation where the previously undisrupted allele is replaced by the cassette leading to loss of a wild type detect band (refer to the positive control lane).
