Mouse Antxr2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Antxr2 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Antxr2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_133738 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000029338 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 5. 17 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 17 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000031281). Exon 8 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Antxr2 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-26L24 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for null mutations display female infertility. Mice homozygous for one allele are highly resistant to Bacillus anthracis or anthrax toxin induced lethality. Young mice homozygous for a second allele display pregnancy- related premature death and failure of parturition.
Exon 8 starts from about 43.6% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 8 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 7 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 23192 bp, and the size of intron 8 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 2274 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~561 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region 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.

Summary: Full Length(7061bp) | A(26.57% 1876) | C(19.37% 1368) | T(33.73% 2382) | G(20.32% 1435)
Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region 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.
