| Glossary Term | Gene Trap |
| Definition |
A type of DNA construct containing a reporter gene sequence downstream of a splice acceptor site that is capable of integrating into random chromosomal locations in mouse. Integration of the gene trap into an intron allows the expression of a new mRNA containing one or more upstream exons followed by the reporter gene. The reporter gene is therefore expressed in the same cells and developmental stages as the gene into which the gene trap has inserted. See also Enhancer Trap. |
