Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:225022
• Parent Cell Line: v6.5 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (C57BL/6 x 129S4/SvJae)F1

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted
• Mutations: Insertion, Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: The targeting construct introduced the substitution of a termination codon for tryptophan at position 16 (W16X). Cre-mediated recombination removed the floxed neomycin resistance cassette introduced downstream of the coding sequence. (J:225022)
