Strain Information

Ap7q
Name: alcohol preference 7 QTL
Type: QTL
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 7
Alteration at locus: Chromosome Substitution
Genetic Alterations
This congenic strain has been created in the donor's laboratory by introducing a chromosomal fragment from the 129P3/J (JAX Stock # 000690) inbred strain into the genetic background of the C57BL/6ByJ (JAX Stock # 001139) inbred partner strain. This donor fragment is bracketed by the rs31912252 and D7Mit52 SNPs of Chr7 and includes the alcohol preference 7 QTL, Ap7q from 129P3.

    Strain Development
    This congenic strain harbors the B6By.129P3-( rs31912252-D7Mit52)fragment from 129P3. The fragment boundaries are 37.5 – 40.1 Mb.This is a congenic strain produced to map the Ap7q (Alcohol preference 7 QTL) locus on Chr 7. This congenic strain was branched out during production of the consomic strain MMRRC:036689. Therefore, the initial stages of development of this congenic strain and the MMRRC:036689 consomic strain are identical.

    The donating investigators used the 129P3/J strain as a donor and C57BL/6ByJ strain as an inbred partner (host). To eliminate the Y chromosome from the donor strain, F1 females were backcrossed to males from the C57BL/6ByJ host strain. To facilitate elimination of the donor genome in non-target chromosomes using a "speed consomic" approach, we conducted genome scans of the N2 and N3 backcross generations (948 SNPs covering 19 autosomes and the X chromosome were genotyped to identify optimal breeders). Males with a non-recombinant donor chromosome and with the smallest proportion of the donor genome in rest of the chromosomes were used as founders of the next generation. An N3 with a donor fragment (35.3 to 53.7 Mb) covered Ap7q region was used as a founder of these congenic strains. In subsequent backcrosses, donor fragment region was genotyped with a set of DNA markers. N9 mice produced by backcrossing this founder and its offspring to C57BL/6ByJ females were intercrossed to produce N9F2 generation. N9F2 mice homozygous for a donor fragment of Chr 7, defined by the proximal marker rs31912252 (37.5 Mb) and the distal marker D7Mit52 (40.1 Mb), were used as founders of the MMRRC:42099 congenic strain.

    Order Request Information

    Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

    Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to mmrrc@med.unc.edu for more information.

    Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

    Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

    1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

    2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

    3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

    4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
