ES Cell lineJ1 [129S4/SvJae]
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Masaki Okano and En Li, Massachusetts General Hospital in 1999. J1 ES cells were used to generate the mutant mice. The mutant mice were crossed to C57BL/6.
Strain descriptionDnmt3a knockout mice. A 0.3 kb region containing exons of Dnmt3a encoding PC and ENV motif was replaced with an IRES-beta-geo cassette. Homozygous mutant mice appear normal at birth, but most mutant mice become runted and die at about 4 week of age. Dnmt3a floxed mice (RBRC03731), Dnmt3b knockout mice (RBRC03732), Dnmt3b floxed mice (RBRC03733).
Colony maintenanceHeterozygote x Wild-type [C57BL/6JJcl]
