Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Conditional
Mir129-1
Name: microRNA 129-1
Synonyms: mmu-mir-129-1, Mirn129b, Mirn129-1
Type: Gene
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 6
Alteration at locus: Conditional

VEGA: 6
Genetic Alterations
A targeting vector was designed to insert an FRT site followed by a lacZ gene, a loxP site, a neomycin cassette, an FRT site and a loxP site (FRT-lacZ-loxP-Neo-FRT-loxP) upstream of the miR129-1 stem loop, with one loxP site placed immediately downstream of the miR129-1 stem loop.
Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
E14TG2a.4 derived from 129P2/OlaHsd
Phenotype
Mice that are homozygous (or heterozygous) for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When combined with a Flp recombinase-expressing strain, the lacZ and neomycin genes are removed leaving an FRT site and the loxP-flanked miR129-1 stem loop. A further cross to a Cre-recombinase-expressing strain generates the null allele. When combined with a Cre-recombinase-expressing strain, the neomycin cassette and miR129-1 stem loop are removed leaving a lacZ tagged null allele (FRT-lacZ-loxP). This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of microRNA biology.

  • phenotype not analyzed
Strain Development
The construct was electroporated into 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Chimeric mice were crossed with a mouse of mixed genetic background (which incorporated FVB), then crossed to inbred C57BL/6 for two generations. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J for at least 1 generation to establish the colony. Additional information detailing the development of this mirKO mouse can be found here.

MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact csmmrrc@jax.org. Older strains may not have this information.

Colony and Husbandry Information

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email csmmrrc@jax.org.

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 csmmrrc@jax.org 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.

The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

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.
