Mouse Plekho1 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Plekho1 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Plekho1 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_023320 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000015745 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 3. 6 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 6 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000015889). Exon 6 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Plekho1 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP24-288N15 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 a null allele exhibit age-dependent increase in bone volume and increased osteoblast activity.
Exon 6 covers 57.35% of the coding region. Start codon is in exon 1, and stop codon is in exon 6. The size of intron 5 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1167 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1955 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region 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.
Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp

Summary: Full Length(7202bp) | A(24.72% 1780) | C(27.09% 1951) | T(22.44% 1616) | G(25.76% 1855)
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.
