description | Oncogenic activating mutations in Ras genes are among the most common drivers of human disease. Treating mouse skin with the chemical carcinogen DMBA induces a characteristic mutation in Hras at codon 61. To understand how skin responds to a constitutive lack of Hras, we generated a cohort of Hras knockout mice. A backcross was generated using male Mus spretus and female FVB/N Hras-/- mice; female F1 hybrids were mated with male FVB/N Hras -/- or Hras -/+ mice to generate a backcross population. This series contains mice that were Hras -/-. Mice were aged to 8 weeks and a tail skin sample was snap frozen. |
