| Primary Identifier | MGI:2446599 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(Gata1-cre)1Sho |
| Strain of Origin | CD-1 | Is Recombinase | true |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | Sequence encoding cre recombinase was adjoined to the murine Gata1 promoter region. The expanded expression pattern (relative to the endogenous Gata1 gene) has been attributed to leaky cre expression during an early stage of embryogenesis. While the Gata1 promoter was putatively a hematopoietic-specific promoter, efficient cre mediated excision has been observed in germ cells. |
