Allele Type:    Targeted (Recombinase) Mutation:    Insertion   Chattm2(cre)Lowl expression driven by 1 gene Knock-in expression driven by: Organism Driver Gene Note mouse Chat (MGI:88392)   Mutation details: An optimized internal ribosome entry sequence (IRES) fused to cre recombinase followed by a neomycin resistance cassette flanked FRT sites was inserted after the ChAT stop codon in BAC (bMQ185k21) using homologous recombination in bacteria. A genomic ChAT fragment with 4kb homology arms on either side of the IRES-Cre insertion site was lifted out from the BAC using reverse recombineering techniques and transformed into ES cells. This allele was used to generate Chattm1(cre)Lowl. (J:169562)
