Depositor Comments

To generate the Ngn3 constructs, a 7.6 kb fragment containing Ngn3 (pGD15, contains the 6.5 kb upstream region of Ngn3) was isolated using Ngn3 cDNA to screen a mouse RPI-22 BAC library. The Ngn3-Cre construct was obtained by directly ligating a XbaI-BssHII (partial digestion) blunt-ended fragment from pGD15 to the pMC-Cre plasmid to generate pGD 84. The insert was released by NotI-SalI digestion and used for transgenic animal production.
