Mouse Cryz Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Cryz Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Cryz conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Cryz gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_009968 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000028199 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 3. 9 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 9 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000029850). Exon 5 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Cryz gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-5D19 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: Exon 5 starts from about 43.2% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 5 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 4 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2248 bp, and the size of intron 5 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 4586 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~552 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(7052bp) | A(25.6% 1805) | C(22.79% 1607) | T(27.01% 1905) | G(24.6% 1735) 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.

  • Vast Human-Specific Delay in Cortical Ontogenesis Associated With
    Supplementary information Extension of cortical synaptic development distinguishes humans from chimpanzees and macaques Supplementary Methods Sample collection We used prefrontal cortex (PFC) and cerebellar cortex (CBC) samples from postmortem brains of 33 human (aged 0-98 years), 14 chimpanzee (aged 0-44 years) and 44 rhesus macaque individuals (aged 0-28 years) (Table S1). Human samples were obtained from the NICHD Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders at the University of Maryland, USA, the Netherlands Brain Bank, Amsterdam, Netherlands and the Chinese Brain Bank Center, Wuhan, China. Informed consent for use of human tissues for research was obtained in writing from all donors or their next of kin. All subjects were defined as normal by forensic pathologists at the corresponding brain bank. All subjects suffered sudden death with no prolonged agonal state. Chimpanzee samples were obtained from the Yerkes Primate Center, GA, USA, the Anthropological Institute & Museum of the University of Zürich-Irchel, Switzerland and the Biomedical Primate Research Centre, Netherlands (eight Western chimpanzees, one Central/Eastern and five of unknown origin). Rhesus macaque samples were obtained from the Suzhou Experimental Animal Center, China. All non-human primates used in this study suffered sudden deaths for reasons other than their participation in this study and without any relation to the tissue used. CBC dissections were made from the cerebellar cortex. PFC dissections were made from the frontal part of the superior frontal gyrus. All samples contained an approximately 2:1 grey matter to white matter volume ratio. RNA microarray hybridization RNA isolation, hybridization to microarrays, and data preprocessing were performed as described previously (Khaitovich et al.

  • Primepcr™Assay Validation Report
    PrimePCR™Assay Validation Report Gene Information Gene Name crystallin, zeta (quinone reductase) Gene Symbol CRYZ Organism Human Gene Summary Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific or enzyme and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. The former class is also called phylogenetically-restricted crystallins. This gene encodes a taxon-specific crystallin protein which has NADPH-dependent quinone reductase activity distinct from other known quinone reductases. It lacks alcohol dehydrogenase activity although by similarity it is considered a member of the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Unlike other mammalian species in humans lens expression is low. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. One pseudogene is known to exist.

Several families of Evolution human TEs – primarily Alu, L1 and SVA – continue to actively transpose, thereby generating insertional poly- Population genetics morphisms among individual genomes. The impact that TE insertions have on their human hosts' fitness, and Human genome accordingly the role that natural selection plays in shaping patterns of TE polymorphisms among populations, Population branch statistic have yet to be systematically evaluated using whole genome sequence data. We present here a population 1000 genomes project genomic study of the effects of natural selection on human genetic variation that results from the recent activity of TEs. We developed a genome-wide scan for selection on human TE polymorphisms and applied it to a dataset of 14,384 locus-specific TE insertions characterized for 1511 individuals from 15 populations.
