Abstract excerpt
Targeted mouse mutants are a common tool used to investigate gene function. The International Knockout Mouse Consortium undertook a large-scale screen of mouse mutants, making use of the knockout-first allele design that contains the En2 splice acceptor sequence coupled to the lacZ reporter gene. Although the knockout-first allele was designed to interfere with splicing and thus disrupt gene function, the En2...
