http://www.alphaknockout.com/ Mouse Ern1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Ern1 conditional knockout mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Ern1 gene ( NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_023913 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000020715 ) is located on mouse chromosome 11. 22 exons are identified , with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 22 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000001059). Exon 2 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the mouse Ern1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-386O11 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 null mutations display embryonic lethality during organogenesis. Homozygous mice may also display decreased embryo size, impaired hematopoiesis, and/or placental abnormalities. The knockout of Exon 2 will result in frameshift of the gene, and covers 4.13% of the coding region. The size of intron 1 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 28588 bp, and the size of intron 2 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 21784 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1620 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(7121bp) | A(26.63% 1896) | C(19.59% 1395) | G(22.29% 1587) | T(31.5% 2243) 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.
