Mouse Snapc4 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Snapc4 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Snapc4 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_172339 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000036281 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 2. 23 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAG stop codon in exon 22 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000035427). Exon 2~16 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:
Exon 2 starts from the coding region. Exon 2~16 covers 49.66% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~9498 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 1912 bp section upstream of Exon 2 is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. The gRNA site is selected outside of these tandem repeats.

Forward Reverse Complement
Sequence 12
Note: The 730 bp section downstream of Exon 16 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(1912bp) | A(21.29% 407) | C(22.86% 437) | T(29.81% 570) | G(26.05% 498)
Note: The 1912 bp section upstream of Exon 2 is analyzed to determine the GC content. Significant high GC-content regions are found. The gRNA site is selected outside of these high GC-content regions.
