Gene targeting in mouse embryonic stem cells has become the'gold standard'for
determining gene function in mammals. Since its inception, this technology has
revolutionized the study of mammalian biology and human medicine. Here I provide a
personal account of the work that led to the generation of gene targeting which now lies at
the centre of functional genomic analysis.
