Information from provider
| Provider | Martin FRAY |
| Provider affiliation | Mammalian Genetics Unit, Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell |
| Genetic information | This transgene expresses cre recombinase under the control of a human beta-actin promoter, which is active in all embryonic cells at or before the blastocyst stage. The transgene was injected at Harwell into C57BL/6NTac oocytes and maintained on this background thereafter. |
| Phenotypic information | Ubiquitous cre expressor. No overt phenotype. To date, 100% effective cre deletion reported. |
| Breeding history | The transgene was injected at Harwell into C57BL/6NTac oocytes and maintained on this background thereafter. This strain is coisogenic on C57BL/6NTac. |
