• Tg(Opn1sw-cre)1Asw expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  mouse	Opn1sw (MGI:99438)

• Mutation details: Sequence encoding cre recombinase was adjoined to 0.5 kb of 5' upstream sequence of the mouse Opn1sw gene. Cre enzymatic activity was observed in cone photoreceptors. Activity was also observed in some cells of the retinal ganglion layer and the inner nuclear layer. (J:87301)
