description | A line of mice with segmental monosomy for Chr 16 was derived from descendants of the chimeric founder. |
molecularNote | Deletion of a 3.9 Mb segment of Chr 16 was engineered by cre-mediated recombination between single loxP sites inserted into homologous chromosomes. This deleted segment contains mouse orthologs of 33 conserved and minimally conserved genes in the human Down syndrome critical region. |
