Mouse Pcsk7 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Pcsk7 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Pcsk7 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_008794 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000035382 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 9. 17 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 3 and the TGA stop codon in exon 17 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000039059). Exon 3~8 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 homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal response to LPS.
Exon 3 starts from the coding region. Exon 3~8 covers 45.5% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~5967 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Sequence 12
Note: The 608 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.
