Mouse Rtn1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)

Objective: To create a Rtn1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.

Strategy summary: The Rtn1 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_153457 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000021087 ) is located on Mouse 12. 9 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAG stop codon in exon 9 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000078505). Exon 2 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable with no gross abnormalities.

Exon 2 starts from about 10.34% of the coding region. Exon 2 covers 33.08% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~774 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Note: The 774 bp section of Exon 2 is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

Note: The 774 bp section of Exon 2 is analyzed to determine the GC content. No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.
