wt/wt E18.5 TS26: brain Present Not Specified; total RNA Not Specified Not Specified
wt/del E18.5 TS26: brain Present (a) Not Specified; total RNA involves: 129S4/SvJae * C57BL/6J Chat/Slc18a3tm1.1Vpra/Chat+, Chat/Slc18a3tm1.1Vpra/Slc18a3+Not Specified This embryo was a single heterozygote. However, since this allele affects two genes, the MGI database schema requires that we need to enter an allele pair per affected gene (thus resulting in the animal looking like a double heterozygote).
del/del E18.5 TS26: brain Present (b) Not Specified; total RNA involves: 129S4/SvJae * C57BL/6J Chat/Slc18a3tm1.1Vpra/Chat/Slc18a3tm1.1Vpra, Chat/Slc18a3tm1.1Vpra/Chat/Slc18a3tm1.1VpraNot Specified This embryo was a single homozygote. However, since this allele affects two genes, the MGI database schema requires that we need to enter an allele pair per affected gene (thus resulting in the animal looking like a double homozygote).
Notes:
(a) Expression level was increased nearly two-fold in wt/del compared to control littermates.
(b) Expression level was increased nearly four-fold in del/del compared to control littermates.
