Mouse Rcan1 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Rcan1 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J ) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Rcan1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001081549 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000022951 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 16. 4 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 4 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000060005). Exon 2~3 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: Unstressed homozygous mutant mice show no overt phenotype other than a slight reduction in heart size and an impaired T helper 1 response. Stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy, however, is attenuated in mutant mice.
Exon 2 starts from about 32.8% of the coding region. Exon 2~3 covers 44.36% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~2390 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Sequence 12
Note: The 2000 bp section upstream of Exon 2 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.

Note: The 2000 bp section downstream of Exon 3 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.

Note: The 2000 bp section upstream of Exon 2 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.
