Building a genetically engineered mouse for a specific cancer takes years. Editing genes directly in an adult mouse's organ can produce the same tumour in weeks.
Somatic genome editing by electroporation, viral delivery or lipid nanoparticles into a target organ produces autochthonous tumours with intact immune systems and native microenvironment, at a fraction of the time and cost of germline models. This has been demonstrated in lung, pancreas, liver and brain. Combinatorial guide libraries also allow genotype-response mapping in immunocompetent animals.
