Description:
This is the wild type littermate from crossing of heterozygous mutant female rats with wild-type male rats to generate hemizygous null male rats and wild type mutant. Foxo4 mutant strain (RGD:405855876) was created in zygotes from Holtzman Sprague-Dawley. Guided RNAs targeting exon 2 (target sequence: CCAGATATACGAATGGATGGTCC; nucleotides 517-539) and exon 3 (target sequence: GTTCATCAAGGTACATAACGAGG; nucleotides 631-653) of the Foxo4 gene (NM_001106943.1)) were injected to the embryos to create a 3096-bp deletion including the 3' part of exon 2 and 5' part of exon 3, and resulting a premature stop of the protein.
