Abstract

Understanding the complex genetic background of cancers is key in developing effective targeted therapies. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a powerful and unbiased genetic editing tool that can be used for rapid screening of candidate liver cancer driver genes. Manipulating their expression level using a reverse genetic mouse model involving hydrodynamic tail-vein injection delivery can rapidly elucidate the role of these candidate genes in liver cancer tumorigenesis.
