Tg(Dlx1-Venus)1Kess

In a BAC, a loxP site was inserted into exon 1 of Dlx1, 1345 bp upstream of the ATG site. The Venus reporter open reading frame was fused to the ATG, followed by a downstream loxP site, the SV40 polyA, and a removable selection cassette. The modifications were performed in a bacterial system by recombineering methods. The selection cassette was removed from the construct prior to injection into fertilized eggs. Cre-mediated recombination extinguishes Venus expression. Before recombination, reporter expression is detected in Dlx1-expressing cells. Founder line information was not available. (J:164291)
