BRC No.RBRC05145
TypeTargeted MutationCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6.129P2-Prdm9<tm1Ymat>
Former Common nameB6-Meisetz KO
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineE14.1 [129P2/OlaHsd]
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Katsuhiko Hayashi and Yasuhisa Matsui, Osaka Medical Center for Maternal and Child Health in 1995. A targeting vector containing the NLS-lacZ and a loxP-flanked PGFneo cassette was inserted into the initiation codon of exon 2, all of exons 3 to 6, and part of exon 7. The mutant mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6JJcl.
Strain descriptionMeisetz (Prdm9) knockout mice. Homozygous mutant mice show meiotic arrest and both female and male are infertile.
Colony maintenanceHeterozygote x Wild-type [C57BL/6JJmsSlc]
References
A histone H3 methyltransferase controls epigenetic events required for meiotic prophase.
