| Primary Identifier | MGI:3822474 | Allele Type | Targeted |
| Gene | Hesx1 | Transmission | Germline |
| Strain of Origin | 129S/SvEv-Gpi1<c> | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The coding sequence for wild-type Hesx1 was mutated by PCR so that codon 26 (isoleucine) was changed to encode a threonine residue (ATT->ACC). A loxP-flanked PGK-Neo selection cassette was inserted into the first intron of the mutated Hesx1 sequence in the targeting vector. Homologous recombination in CCE ES cells replaced the wild-type sequence with the mutant sequence in the targeting vector. F1 animals were crossed with Actin-beta-cre mice to excise the PGK-Neo cassette. |
