We report that the Disc1 gene in all extant 129 mouse inbred substrains has a deletion, previously considered specific to the 129S6/SvEv substrain, which is predicted to abolish production of the full-length protein. This finding has implications for the study of knockout mice generated from 129-derived embryonic stem cells.
我们报告称,所有现存的129小鼠近交亚系中的Disc1基因都有一个缺失,该缺失以前被认为是129S6/SvEv亚系所特有的,预计会导致全长蛋白无法产生。这一发现对源自129胚胎干细胞的基因敲除小鼠的研究具有重要意义。
