Genetic microsurgery by laser: establishment of a clonal population of rat kangaroo cells with a directed deficiency in a chromosomal nucleolar organizer

, , , &

Abstract

An ultraviolet laser beam was focused to a submicron spot on one of the nucleolar organizer regions of mitotic chromosomes of rat kangaroo cells in tissue culture. The daughter cells were isolated and cloned into a viable population that maintained the directed nucleolar deficiency. It is concluded that the laser can be used to delete preselected genetic regions and the genetic deletion is maintained as a heritable deficiency in subsequent daughter cells. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
