-
The targeting vector has been transfected into the TaconicArtemis C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
The following elements have been inserted into the ROSA26 locus:
- A CAG promoter cassette (containing a cytomegalovirus early enhancer element, a chicken beta-actin promoter and an adenovirus intron).
- The Fads2 open reading frame (based on NCBI transcript NM_019699_1).
- A synthetic polyadenylation signal.
- A Neomycin resistance (NeoR) cassette containing a polyadenylation signal and lacking a translation initiation codon.
-
The constitutive TTG line has been generated by crossing chimeras to C57BL/6NTac animals.
-
The FADS2 protein is expressed under the control of the CAG promoter.
-
The presence of the NeoR cassette terminates the transcription from the ROSA26 promoter.

Datamining and Design performed in 2009.
