Mouse Kcnrg Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Kcnrg Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Kcnrg conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Kcnrg gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_206974 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000046168 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 14. 2 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 1 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000225582). Exon 1 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Kcnrg gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-460E11 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: Exon 1 covers 100.0% of the coding region. Start codon is in exon 1, and stop codon is in exon 1. The size of intron 1 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 3545 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~833 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Genomics Analysis of Potassium Channel Genes in Songbirds Reveals
Lovell et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:470 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/470 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomics analysis of potassium channel genes in songbirds reveals molecular specializations of brain circuits for the maintenance and production of learned vocalizations Peter V Lovell, Julia B Carleton and Claudio V Mello* Abstract Background: A fundamental question in molecular neurobiology is how genes that determine basic neuronal properties shape the functional organization of brain circuits underlying complex learned behaviors. Given the growing availability of complete vertebrate genomes, comparative genomics represents a promising approach to address this question. Here we used genomics and molecular approaches to study how ion channel genes influence the properties of the brain circuitry that regulates birdsong, a learned vocal behavior with important similarities to human speech acquisition. We focused on potassium (K-)Channels, which are major determinants of neuronal cell excitability. Starting with the human gene set of K-Channels, we used cross-species mRNA/protein alignments, and syntenic analysis to define the full complement of orthologs, paralogs, allelic variants, as well as novel loci not previously predicted in the genome of zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata). We also compared protein coding domains in chicken and zebra finch orthologs to identify genes under positive selective pressure, and those that contained lineage-specific insertions/deletions in functional domains. Finally, we conducted comprehensive in situ hybridizations to determine the extent of brain expression, and identify K-Channel gene enrichments in nuclei of the avian song system. Results: We identified 107 K-Channel finch genes, including 6 novel genes common to non-mammalian vertebrate lineages.

A Genome-Wide Association Study for Harness Racing Success in the Norwegian- Swedish Coldblooded Trotter Reveals Genes for Learning and Energy Metabolism Brandon D
Velie et al. BMC Genetics (2018) 19:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12863-018-0670-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A genome-wide association study for harness racing success in the Norwegian- Swedish coldblooded trotter reveals genes for learning and energy metabolism Brandon D. Velie1* , Kim Jäderkvist Fegraeus1, Marina Solé1, Maria K. Rosengren1, Knut H. Røed2, Carl-Fredrik Ihler3, Eric Strand3 and Gabriella Lindgren1,4 Abstract Background: Although harness racing is of high economic importance to the global equine industry, significant genomic resources have yet to be applied to mapping harness racing success. To identify genomic regions associated with harness racing success, the current study performs genome-wide association analyses with three racing performance traits in the Norwegian-Swedish Coldblooded Trotter using the 670 K Axiom Equine Genotyping Array. Results: Following quality control, 613 horses and 359,635 SNPs were retained for further analysis. After strict Bonferroni correction, nine genome-wide significant SNPs were identified for career earnings. No genome-wide significant SNPs were identified for number of gallops or best km time. However, four suggestive genome-wide significant SNPs were identified for number of gallops, while 19 were identified for best km time. Multiple genes related to intelligence, energy metabolism, and immune function were identified as potential candidate genes for harness racing success. Conclusions: Apart from the physiological requirements needed for a harness racing horse to be successful, the results of the current study also advocate learning ability and memory as important elements for harness racing success. Further exploration into the mental capacity required for a horse to achieve racing success is likely warranted.

Although much recent attention has focused on tiny 22- to 25-nucleotide microRNAs, several functional ncRNAs are orders of magnitude larger in size. Examples of such macro ncRNAs include Xist and Air, which in mouse are 18 and 108 kilobases (Kb), respectively. We surveyed the 102,801 FANTOM3 mouse cDNA clones and found that Air and Xist were present not as single, full-length transcripts but as a cluster of multiple, shorter cDNAs, which were unspliced, had little coding potential, and were most likely primed from internal adenine-rich regions within longer parental transcripts. We therefore conducted a genome-wide search for regional clusters of such cDNAs to find novel macro ncRNA candidates. Sixty-six regions were identified, each of which mapped outside known protein-coding loci and which had a mean length of 92 Kb.
