Completion of the ferret genome has enabled the rapid identification of molecular tools and genetic engineering in the ferret. Current work in the Parekh lab is capitalizing on the generation of fluorescent reporter ferrets (developed by the Engelhardt laboratory). These transgenic ferrets provide a foundation for future scientific growth to study mechanisms of allograft dysfunction.
