Construction of prestin chimeras. Parental strains with contrasting coat color were used to form two embryo groups differing in the expression of prestin and lacZ genes. After fusion of contrasting embryos, a chimeric blastocyst is transferred to a pseudopregnant female. Prestin chimeric mice are easily distinguished in any given litter by their variegated coat color.
