BRC No.RBRC00109
TypeTargeted MutationCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameC3.129S4(B6)-Zic1<tm1Jaru>/JaruRbrc
Former Common nameC3H/HeN-TgH(Zic1), Zic1 KO (C3H background)
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineJ1 [129S4/SvJae](D3 subline)
Background strainC3H/HeNJcl
Appearanceagouti
Strain developmentDeveloped by Dr. Jun Aruga. Protein coding region of Zic1 exon1 is replaced by PGK-neo gene homologous recombination in ES cell. This strain has been introduced into C3H/HeN genetic background by successive backcrossing for more than 10 generations.
Strain descriptionThe Zic1 gene is known to have important roles in the cerebellar function. In this strain protein coding region of Zic1 exon 1 was replaced by PGK-Neo gene by homologous recombination in J1 ES cells.Genotype of Affected Mutation:Zic1 null heterozygous.
Colony maintenanceBackcrossing to C3H/HeN. Or sister-brother mating of heterozygotes. Breeding performance is good. The mice are provided as heterozygous breeder pairs.
