Information
(ja51) Genotypes were determined by a combination of PCR and subsequent digestion by endonuclease XhoI. First, the region flanking the TALEN cleavage site was amplified by PCR using the following primers, six7TALEN_Fw (5’- TCTGCTGCTCCTCCTTTAC -3’) and six7TALEN_Rv (5’- CTTACGGATGCGGTACTTC -3’). Second, the PCR product was digested with XhoI, and TALEN-induced mutations were checked by loss of the XhoI digestion site.
(ja69Tg) The transgenes, EGFP and Six7-FLAG, are fused to the promoter region of cone-rod homeobox (crx) gene. In this transgenic background, both EGFP and Six7-FLAG are specifically expressed in the retinal and pineal photoreceptor cells.
