Primary Identifier | MGI:1932102 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Ercc6 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | Insertion of a floxed neomycin resistance cassette into exon 5 near a site corresponding to a known human mutation disrupted the Ercc6 gene. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses of E13.5 fibroblasts from homozygous mutant animals did not detect wild-type transcript or wild-type protein, but indicate that the mutant allele expresses mRNA at low levels. |
