Genetic Alterations

Randomly inserted transgenic human FEZF2 enhancer sequence drives CreER and GFP expression, no genes are altered

Strain Description

Phenotype
This line carries an allele that encodes a novel FEZF2 enhancer driving the expression of CreER-T2 and GFP.
Strain Development
This transgenic line was created by pronuclear injection into fertilized CD-1 eggs. Three subsequent crosses to CD-1 and one sib-mating.
Suggested Control Mice
CD-1

MMRRC Genetic QC

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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu. Older strains may not have this information.
