Mouse Def6 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Def6 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Def6 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_027185 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000002257 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 17. 11 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAG stop codon in exon 11 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000002327). Exon 3~9 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: Homozygous mutants spontaneously develop systemic autoimmunity. Females primarily are affected, displaying hypergammaglobulinemia, accumulation of effector/memory T cells and IgG+ B cells, and production of autoantibodies
Exon 3 starts from about 12.59% of the coding region. Exon 3~9 covers 71.11% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~8699 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Sequence 12
Note: The 186 bp section 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.
