These CRISPR/Cas9 knockin mice have Cre recombinase-dependent expression of CRISPR associated protein 9 (cas9) endonuclease and EGFP directed by a CAG promoter. When used in combination with single guide RNAs and a Cre source, they allow editing of single or multiple mouse genes in vivo or ex vivo.

These Rosa26-LSL-Cas9 knockin mice have a floxed-STOP cassette preventing expression of the downstream bicistronic sequences (Cas9 and EGFP). Although under control of a CAG promoter, widespread expression cas9 and EGFP is prevented by the STOP cassette. After exposure to Cre recombinase, expression of cas9 and EGFP is observed. The donating investigator reports cas9 expression is tightly controlled in a Cre-dependent manner. Whereas gene editing via viral delivery of cas9 is burdened by packaging size limits, these Rosa26-LSL-Cas9 mice only require one to select a Cre recombinase driven by the promoter of their choosing and a specific single guide RNA (sgRNA) for generating single or multiple simultaneous mutations. Mice homozygous for the Rosa26-LSL-Cas9 knockin allele are viable and fertile.
In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.
The Rosa26-LSL-Cas9 knockin mice are also available on a C57BL/6J congenic background (Stock No. 026175), a C57BL/6NJ congenic background (Stock No. 026556), a NOD/ShiLtJ congenic background (Stock No. 026431), as well as a mixed B6;129 genetic background (Stock No. 024857).
The Rosa26-LSL-Cas9 targeting vector used was designed with (from 5' to 3') a 5' homology arm, a ubiquitously expressed CAG promoter, loxP-flanked 3xSV40 polyA stop cassette, a 3X-FLAG epitope tag, a mammalian codon-optimized cas9 gene (derived from Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR associated protein 9 [SpCas9]) flanked by two nuclear localization signals, a P2A ribosomal skip cleavage peptide sequence, an enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) gene, a woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element, bovine growth hormone polyA, pPGK-Neo-pA positive selection cassette and a 3' homology arm. The construct was electroporated into 129S-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6N blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were tested for germline transmission by crossing to C57BL/6N mice. The mice were then backcrossed to C57BL/6N. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, the mice were crossed to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) at least once to establish the colony. The mice were then backcrossed to FVB/NJ (Stock No. 001800) using a marker assisted protocol.
A 48 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 43 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. One of the 43 markers, on Chromosome 9, was segregating with 129.

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
