https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Wfs1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Wfs1 conditional knockout mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Wfs1 gene ( NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_011716.2 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000039474 ) is located on mouse chromosome 5. 8 exons are identified , with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TGA stop codon in exon 8 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000043964). Exon 3 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the mouse Wfs1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-46B6 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 a null allele exhibit decreased pancreatic beta cells and impaired glucose tolerance. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired glucose tolerance, decreased body weight, and abnormal behavior associated with increased sensitivity to stress. Exon 3 starts from about 8.84% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 5091 bp, and the size of intron 3 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1268 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1199 bp. This strategy is designed based on genetic information in existing databases. Due to the complexity of biological processes, all risk of loxP insertion on gene transcription, RNA splicing and protein translation cannot be predicted at existing technological level.

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(7083bp) | A(22.39% 1586) | C(25.81% 1828) | T(23.58% 1670) | G(28.22% 1999) 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.
