Mouse Qpct Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)

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

Strategy summary: The Qpct (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_027455 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000024084 ) is located on Mouse 17. 7 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 7 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000040789). Exon 3~5 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 exhibit normal motor coordination and spatial working memory.

Exon 3 starts from about 24.95% of the coding region. Exon 3~5 covers 51.2% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~8894 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Overview of the Dot Plot (up) Window size: 15 bp

Forward Reverse Complement

Sequence 12

Note: The 2000 bp section upstream 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.

Note: The 2000 bp section downstream of Exon 5 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.
