Mouse Map2k7 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Map2k7 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Map2k7 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001164172 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000002948 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 8. 12 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAG stop codon in exon 12 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000062686). Exon 3~12 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Map2k7 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-463K24 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 disruptions in this gene die during embryogenesis.
Exon 3~12 covers 86.82% of the coding region. Start codon is in exon 1, and stop codon is in exon 12. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2568 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~2836 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Overview of the Dot Plot Window size: 10 bp
Forward Reverse Complement
Sequence 12
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.
Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp
Sequence 12
Summary: Full Length(9023bp) | A(20.56% 1855) | C(27.09% 2444) | T(25.52% 2303) | G(26.83% 2421)
Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. Significant high GC-content regions are found. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector.
