Loss or gain of whole chromosomes, or parts of chromosomes, is found in various pathological conditions, such as cancer and aneuploidy, and results from the missegregation chromosomes during cellular division or abnormal mitotic recombination. We introduce a novel strategy for determining the consequences of segmental aneuploid mosaicism, called targeted asymmetric sister chromatin event of recombitiation (TASCER). We took advantage of the Cre/loxP system, used extensively in embryonic stem cells for generating deletions and duplications of regions of interest, to induce recombination during the G2 phase. Using two loxP sites in a Cis configuration, we generated in vivo cells harboring microdeletions and microduplications for regions of interest covering up to 2.2 Mb. Using this approach in the mouse provides insight into the consequences of segmental aneuploidy for homologous regions of the human chromosome 21 on cell survival. Furthermore, TASCER shows that Cre-induced recombination is more efficient after DNA replication in vivo and provides an oppourtunity to evaluate, through genetic mosaics, the outcome of copy number variation and segmental aneuploidy in the mouse.
