  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  mouse	Cdkn2a (MGI:104738)

• Mutation details: The exon 1 alpha of the Cdkn2a gene was replaced with a translation start site, a CreERT2 expression cassette and a neo cassette. The retained neo-resistant gene markedly resulted in higher labeling efficacy at this locus presumably due to the fact that a retained neo-resistant cassette can act as a local enhancer to augment reporter expression without compromising tissue reporter fidelity. (J:300221)
