Notes

An additional primer was provided by the Donating Investigator for this strain.

cccacataggaaagcgtgtt: deleted allele is around 500bp

Please note, this primer is to be used in conjuction with the two primers listed below in order to detect the null allele.  This third primer has NOT been validated by the Transgenic Genotyping Service at The Jackson Laboratory.

The genotyping protocol(s) presented here have been optimized for reagents and conditions used by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). To genotype animals, JAX recommends researchers validate the assay independently upon receipt of animals into their facility. Reaction cycling temperature and times may require additional optimization based on the specific genotyping reagents used.

Expected Results

Mutant = 450 bp
Heterozygote = 334 bp and 450 bp
Wild type = 334 bp

JAX uses a very high speed Taq (~1000 bp/sec), use cycling times recommended for your reagents.
JAX uses a 'touchdown' cycling protocol and therefore has not calculated the optimal annealing temperature for each set of primers.
