Depositor Comments

Intent is to introduce low doses of pCAG Cre to recombine a subset of cells, such that mNeon can act as an internal control to mScarlet for use in in utero electroporation or other related techniques. WT-Rac1 is expressed following a P2A site, so that Cre+ cells will be both mScarlet positive and also contain an untagged WT Rac1.

Please note: Addgene NGS is unable to fully resolve the CAG promoter sequence. Please refer to the depositor's sequence for this section of the plasmid.
