Type Congenic; Mutant Strain;
Specieslaboratory mouse
Background Strain C57BL/6JEiJ
Donor Strain Non inbred Swiss/Orl stock
GenerationN16p

Development
The TOrl mutation arose spontaneously in approximately 1972 in the Swiss/Orl non-inbred stock. It was backcrossed several generations onto C57BL/6JOrl and imported into the laboratory of Dr. Eva Eicher at The Jackson Laboratory where it was backcrossed onto the C57BL/6J background. In 1987 C57BL/6J females were bred with heterozygous males at generation N15 to generate embryos for cryopreservation.

    • on a B6 background, mice carrying this allele and a Y chromosome from AKR, LEWES/Ei, MA/MyJ, PL/J, RF/J, or the WSB/Ei inbred strain develop as infertile females chromosomal males carrying this allele with a Y chromosome from an AKR, LEWES/Ei, MA/MyJ, PL/J, RF/J, or WSB/Ei background develop as fertile females
    • chromosomal males carrying this allele with a Y chromosome from a BUB/BnJ, C57BL/6JEi, SJL/J, ST/bJ, or SWR/J develop as males on a B6 background, mice carrying this allele and a Y chromosome derived from BUB/BnJ, C57BL/6JEi, SJL/J, ST/bJ, or the SWR/J inbred strain develop as males

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information

Allele Symbol TOrl
Allele Name T-Orleans
Common Name(s) TtOrl;
Strain of OriginOrl:Swiss
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 TOrl, T-Orleans, semidominant. Arose spontaneously in a noninbred Swiss/Orl stock (J:15078). TOrl/+ Qk mice are short-tailed and quaking, suggesting that TOrl is a deletion involving both the T and Qk loci. TOrl is indistinguishable from Thp except that it does not have a maternal effect (J:11933). However, it is inseparably associated with a chromosomal region derived from a naturally occurring t haplotype. Its t-like properties are a consequence of closely linked t-haplotype genes, not of the deletion itself (J:6957). Silver et al. (J:6957) suggest the symbol Tt-Orl for this mutant complex.
Molecular Note The deletion comprising this allele includes T through, at least, Qk as all short-tailed mice from matings of TOrl/+ males to Qkqk/Qkqk females have a "quaking" phenotype. In addition this allele expresses the t- haplotype specific proteins p63/6.9a, TCP-4B, TCP-5, TCP-9, and TCP-8B. [MGI Ref ID J:6957]

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.

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.
