As a proof of concept, we examined the common insertion site (CIS) Bcl-xL, which revealed seven genes located within ±150 kb from the RVIS for our study.

This negative influence of Id1 could be counteracted by co-expressing Bcl-xL.

To directly compare the competitiveness of HSPCs conveyed by multiple transgenes, we developed a multiple competitor competitive repopulation (MCCR) assay to simultaneously screen effects on HSPC repopulating capacity in a single mouse.
