Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information

Allele Symbol		Thp
Allele Name		hairpin tail
Allele Type		Spontaneous
Strain of Origin		AKR/J
Gene Symbol and Name		T, brachyury
Chromosome		17
Gene Common Name(s)		Bra; Low; Lr; MGC104817; T1; TFT; Tl2; Tl3; brachyury-like 2; brachyury-like 3; cou; coupe; low ratio; me75;
General Note		Because this allele arose in the AKR/J inbred strain and can only be transmitted to viable offspring via a male carrier, all T strains carry the AKR Y chromosome.
Molecular Note		Restriction length polymorphisms and simple sequence variants were used to define the breakpoints of the deletion that comprises this allele. The proximal breakpoint of the deletion maps between D17Leh66EI and D17Leh66EII and the distal breakpoint is proximal to D17Mit122 but distal to D17Leh66D. The Qk locus is included in the deletion.

Supply Details

Standard Supply	Repository-Cryopreserved. Must Be Recovered. Please refer to pricing and supply notes for further information.
Supply Notes	Cryorecovery - Standard. The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery. Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845. Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.
Important Note	This strain might be segregating for the recessive tufted (tf) mutation, also on Chromosome 17

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX^® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX^® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX^® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
