Information from provider
| Provider | Zbynek Kozmik |
| Provider affiliation | Dept. of Transcriptional Regulation, Institute of Molecular Genetics AS CR, v.v.i. |
| Genetic information | A BAC clone (RP24-82D21) containing 200kb covering the mouse Rx locus was modified by insertion of Cre recombinase into the first ATG of the Rx gene. The Cre-inserted BAC was used for pronuclear injection. |
| Phenotypic information | Cre recombinase is expressed in the pattern corresponding to the endogenous Rx gene: in optic vesicles and ventral forebrain from E9.0 embryos and later in retina and ventral forebrain. |
| Breeding history | This mouse strain was crossed 4x to C57BL/6NCrl. Breeding takes place only by crossing WT x tg mice. |
