| Genetic information | The telencephalic promoter-enhancer of the Sox2 gene (Zappone et al., Development 2000, 127:2367-2382) is cloned upstream to the CreERT2 gene, encoding the tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase (see Favaro et al., Nature Neuroscience 2009,12:1248-1256). |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:No phenotypeHeterozygous:No phenotype |
| Breeding history | The transgenic line was generated by pronuclear injection of C57BL/6 x DBA oocytes, and the transgenic line was maintained by breeding of heterozygous carriers to non-carrier cousins. |
