For decades, mouse genome engineering has relied on transgenesis and spontaneous gene replacement in embryonic stem (ES) cells. While these technologies provided a wealth of knowledge, they remain imprecise and expensive to use. Recent advances in genome editing technologies such as the development of targetable nucleases, the improvement of delivery systems, and the simplification of targeting strategies now allow for the rapid, precise manipulation of the mouse genome. In this review article, we discuss novel methods and targeting strategies for the generation of mouse models for the study of bone and skeletal muscle biology. 收起
