| Primary Identifier | MGI:5296021 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(Msi1-cre)#Sal |
| Strain of Origin | C57BL/6J x CBA | Is Recombinase | true |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | A 7 kb fragment of genomic DNA containing 4 kb of upstream sequence and 3 kb downstream of the ATG site of the Musahi 1 (Msi1) gene promoter was used drive the cre recombinase sequence in a transgenic construct. Transgenic mice were produced in a C57BL/6 x CBA hybrid background. in crosses to reporter animals, mice demonstrate cre activity in tissues such as brain, skin, lung and more specifically in the bottom of intestinal crypts. |
