Information from provider

ProviderAnton Wutz
Provider affiliationETH Zürich
Genetic informationA 10 kb deletion in the ubinuclein 1 (Ubn1) gene, spanning exons 3-7, was introduced. CRISPR technology details: the deletion was introduced by cutting the Ubn2 expression vector with two Cas12a RNPs.
Phenotypic informationHomozygous:
Homozygous Ubn1 mutant mice are healthy and fertile. We have observed no phenotype of the mutation. The Ubn1 and Ubn2 mutations contribute additively, whereby the combined mutation of Ubn1 (this strain) and Ubn2 (EMMA strain EM:15974) approximates the Hira (histone cell cycle regulator) lethality which could be expected from the molecular function of both genes.

Heterozygous:
Heterozygous Ubn1 mutant mice are healthy and fertile.
Breeding historyMutation was introduced into C57BL/6J background strain by zygote electroporation. The mutation is maintained in a homozygous state.

Availabilities

Requesting frozen sperm or embryos is generally advisable wherever possible, in order to minimise the shipment of live mice.

  • Frozen sperm. Delivered in 4 weeks (after paperwork in place). €1740*
  • Rederivation of mice from frozen stock, delivery time available upon request . €3880*

Due to the dynamic nature of our processes strain availability may change at short notice. The local repository manager will advise you in these circumstances.

* In addition users have to cover all the shipping costs (including the cost for returning dry-shippers, where applicable), as well as a CRISPR surcharge.
