Mouse Ythdf3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)

Objective: To create a Ythdf3 conditional knockout mouse model (C57BL/6N) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.

Strategy summary: The Ythdf3 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_172677 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000047213 ) is located on mouse 3. 6 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TAA stop codon in exon 6 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000108346). Exon 3 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the mouse Ythdf3 gene. (gRNA sequences are shown on the next page). To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP24-170B8 and RP23-113G15 from the C57BL/6 library 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 3 starts from about 2.8% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 5531 bp, and the size of intron 3 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 13623 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~586 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Forward Reverse Complement

Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector.

Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp

Summary: Full Length(7086bp) | A(30.27% 2145) | C(14.93% 1058) | T(36.25% 2569) | G(18.54% 1314)

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.
