Mouse Vps45 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)

Objective: To create a Vps45 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.

Strategy summary: The Vps45 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_013841 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000015747 ) is located on Mouse 3. 15 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 15 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000015891). Exon 2~3 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:

Exon 2 starts from about 5.5% of the coding region. Exon 2~3 covers 11.46% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~4076 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Forward Reverse Complement

Sequence 12

Note: The 567 bp section upstream 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 2000 bp section downstream of Exon 3 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.
