Primary Identifier | MGI:5297524 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(Vsx2-cre)2690Chow |
Strain of Origin | C57BL/6 x C3H | Is Recombinase | true |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | Cre recombinase cDNA was cloned downstream of a 5.3kb upstream region of the Vsx2 gene. A 1.9 kb region containing a 164 bp bipolar enhancer was cloned 5' of the 5.3 kb region. An SV40 polyadenylation sequence was inserted downstream of cre. The 1.9 kb region has been identified as a putative retinal enhancer (PRE) and lies within a conserved non-coding region that is within the breakpoint of the Vsx2 |
