Rescue of an aggressive female sexual courtship in mice by CRISPR/Cas9 secondary mutation in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We had previously reported a mouse line carrying the Atypical female courtship (HoxD Afc ) allele, where an ectopic accumulation of Hoxd10 transcripts was observed in a sparse population of cells in the adult isocortex, as a result of a partial deletion of the HoxD gene cluster. Female mice carrying this allele displayed an exacerbated paracopulatory behavior, culminating in a severe mutilation of the...
