• Gene: Dlx6 Location: Chr6:6863272-6867965 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr6, 2.83 cM
• Alliance: Dlx5/Dlx6^tm1Levi page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:77244
• Parent Cell Line: Not Specified (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: Not Specified

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout, Reporter)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intergenic deletion
• Mutation details: Dlx5 and Dlx6 were deleted and replaced with lacZ-floxed-RSV-neo construct via a single homologous recombination event. The gene targeting event generated a transcriptionally silent genomic duplication spanning Dlx5 and part of Dxl6. Absence of gene expression was confirmed by RT-PCR and whole mount in situ hybridization. (J:77244)
