Cyagen's Proprietary Method for Accelerated Generation of Precise Mouse Models
Our proprietary TurboKnockout® gene targeting method can provide you with conditional knockout, reporter knockin and humanization mouse models as fast as 6-8 months. This proprietary gene targeting method is enabled by two innovations:
● Eliminates the unpredictability of germline transmission (GLT) with our super competent ESC line that generates 100% ESC-derived founder mice rather than chimeras.
● Self-removing selection cassette circumvents the need to breed to Flp deleter mice.
These innovations eliminate at least two generations of breeding, shortening production time by 4-6 months as compared to the industry standard.
TurboKnockout® gene targeting: 6-8 months
Traditional gene targeting: 10-14 months
●
No patent risk:
Technology of choice for drug development projects
●
Success rate:
100% guaranteed germline transmission (GLT)
●

Founders as fast as 6-8 months
●
Large fragment knockin size:
Knockin (KI) fragment size up to 200 kb
●
Limitless loxP:
No size limitations for your floxed region
●
100% Money-Back Guarantee on TurboKnockout® projects
BALB/c is a laboratory-bred, albino strain of the house mouse, characterized by its immunodeficiency and extreme susceptibility to carcinogens. BALB/c mice are among the most widely used mouse strains across oncology, immunology, nuclear medicine research, and are often the first option for animal experimentation models in new drug development projects.
TurboKnockout® is based on traditional embryonic stem cell (ESC) targeting techniques, which can be used for complex genetic modification projects to provide BALB/c mouse models and is the technology of choice among our clients performing drug development projects.
Engineered nuclease-mediated genome editing (especially CRISPR/Cas9) is an emerging technology which can serve as an alternative to the conventional, ES cell homologous recombination-based knockout (KO) animal generation. These methods have enabled the generation of custom mouse and rat models with genetic knockouts, point mutations, and large fragment knockins (LFKIs).
Cyagen's CRISPR-based Rapid Knockout services use accelerated methodology that provides conventional knockout, reporter knockin, and humanization founder animals in as fast as 3 months.

PiggyBac transgenic services can deliver single-copy transgenic animals with more consistent expression of your transgene. This proprietary transgenic method has the following advantages over other transgenic approaches:
●
Single-copy integration:
Avoids potential gene silencing from multiple copies
●
Defined region of integration:
No loss of transgene sequence (TTAA, transcription unit)
●
Reliability:
More consistent expression pattern compared to plasmid based transgenics
●
Economical:
Cost and turnaround time comparable to plasmid based transgenics
"We generated a mouse knockout model using Cyagen’s TurboKnockout® technology. Cyagen's team was on time with milestones, provided constant updates on the project and delivered animals as promised. It was such a pleasure working with Cyagen that we decided to outsource the production of other animal models to them."
