Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: 129S4/SvJae

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Endonuclease-mediated (Conditional ready, Humanized sequence, Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing is used to alter embryonic stem (ES) cells from Kras^tm4Tyj mutant mice. The original Kras mice have a G12D point mutation in exon 2 of the gene and a loxP ite flanked STOP element in intron 1. Guide RNAs targeting the Kras^G12D site and codon 13, an ssODN template and the Cas9 nuclease are used to restore codon 12 to wildtype glycine and introduce a p.G13D mutation associated with coloretal cancer.

Notes

The ES cell line used to create Kras^tm4Tyj is J1 (129S4/SvJae). The ES cell line also included a pancreas-specific Cre ( Ptf1a^{tm1.1(cre)Cvw}) and a far-red fluorescent Cre reporter ( Gt(ROSA)26Sor^{tm2(CAG-rtTA3,-mKate2)Slowe}).
