Specieslaboratory mouse
GenerationN?+3F2pN2p (26-FEB-06)
 
Donating Investigator Minoo Rassoulzadegan,   Universite de Nice

Development
Transgenic mice were generated expressing a testicular Cre recombinase driven by promoter sequences derived from the gene encoding synaptonemal complex protein 1 (Sycp1), expressed at the leptotene to zygotene stage of male meiosis. The founder line for this strain is #4-30.

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information

 
Allele Symbol Tg(Sycp1-cre)4Min
Allele Name transgene insertion 4, Minoo Rassoulzadegan
Allele Type Transgenic (Cre/Flp)
Common Name(s) SYCP-Cre; Sycp1-Cre;
Mutation Made By Minoo Rassoulzadegan,   Universite de Nice
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1
Site of Expressionmale germ cells; expressed at the leptotene-zygotene stage of male meiosis
Expressed Gene cre, cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1
Cre recombinase is an enzyme derived from the bacteriophage P1 that specifically recognizes loxP sites. Cre has been shown to effectively mediate the excision of DNA located between loxP sites. After the excision event, the DNA ends recombine leaving a single loxP site in place of the intervening sequence.
Promoter Sycp1, synaptonemal complex protein 1, mouse, laboratory
Gene Symbol and Name Tg(Sycp1-cre)4Min, transgene insertion 4, Minoo Rassoulzadegan
Chromosome UN
Gene Common Name(s) SYCP-Cre; Sycp1-Cre;
Driver Note Sycp1
General Note The original founder number for this line was #4-30.
Molecular Note This transgene expresses Cre recombinase under the control of a mouse synaptonemal complex protein 1 promoter. This promoter is active at the leptotene to zygotene stage of male meiosis. [MGI Ref ID J:67933]

Supply Notes
  • Cryopreserved Embryos
    This strain is also available as cryopreserved embryos. Orders for cryopreserved embryos may be placed with our Customer Service Department. Experienced technicians at The Jackson Laboratory have recovered frozen embryos of this strain successfully. We will provide you enough embryos to perform two embryo transfers. The Jackson Laboratory does not guarantee successful recovery at your facility. For complete information on purchasing embryos, please visit our Cryopreserved Embryos web page.
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.

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.
