Rekombinacija genoma sisavaca: kvasac kao glavni pomoćni mikroorganizam u proučavanju genomike?

Functional studies of complex mammalian genomes have been revolutionized by the development of the recombineering methodology. Recombineering represents the sum of in vivo recombinant DNA techniques used for the production and manipulation of targeting vectors by the process of homologous recombination within the host microorganism. Although this methodology had initially been developed in yeast, the term recombineering was coined after successful introduction of similar techniques in bacterial cells. Since then, due to simplicity of amplification, manipulation and purification of mammalian targeting vectors, Escherichia coli has become the dominant helper microorganism in functional genomics studies. However, some types of experiments in functional genomics still employ yeast as a unique host for the manipulation of megabase-sized mammalian genomic regions.Razvoj metodologije rekombinacijskog inženjeringa revolucionirao je funkcionalne studije složenih genoma sisavaca. Pod pojmom rekombinacijskog inženjeringa podrazumijeva se skup in vivo tehnika rekombinantne DNA što se koriste pri manipulaciji vektora za ciljanu inaktivaciju gena procesom homologne rekombinacije u stanici mikroorganizma kao domaćina. Iako je ta metodologija izvorno razvijena u kvasca, svoje je ime dobila tek nakon uspješne primjene sličnih tehnika u stanici bakterije. Od tada je, zbog jednostavnosti umnožavanja, manipulacije i izolacije vektora za ciljanu inaktivaciju gena u sisavaca, bakterija Escherichia coli postala glavni pomoćni mikroorganizam za proučavanje funkcionalne genomike. Ipak, u nekim se pokusima funkcionalne genomike još uvijek koristi kvasac kao jedinstveni domaćin za manipulaciju odsječaka genoma sisavaca veličine i do nekoliko milijuna parova baza
