Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A loxP site was inserted 217 bp (2:102739471) upstream of exon 4 and an FRT flanked neo cassette and loxP site were inserted 419 bp (2:102740358-102740394) downstream of exon 4 via homologous recombination. Flp mediated recombination removed the neo cassette leaving exon 4 floxed. (J:221590)
