Mutation
description
Allele Type:    Targeted (Null/knockout)
Mutations:    Insertion, Intragenic deletion
 
Mutation detailsA loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 1 and an FRT-flanked neomycin resistance cassette and second loxP site were inserted downstream of exon 7. Exons 1-7 and the neomycin were removed via cre-mediated recombination in the germline. (J:337771)
