Abstract

A method of amplifying in vivo a DNA sequence B present in a genome of a parent cell, comprising (a) integrating in a genome of said cell a DNA construct comprising the structure C-M-A-D, in which both A and C denote a DNA sequence which is homologous with a genomic DNA fragment either flanking or overlapping the DNA sequence B, the sequence C being located in the opposite end the sequence B as compared to A, D denotes a DNA sequence which is homologous with a genomic DNA fragment located distal for C as compared to B, and M denotes a DNA sequence encoding a selection marker, (b) selecting for cells in which the DNA sequence M has been integrated in the genome, which cells comprise, in any orientation, the structure A-B-C-M-A-D and (c) propagating the cells selected in step (b) under increasing selection pressure to obtain a cell which has obtained an increased number of genomically integrated copies of the DNA sequences B and M.
