GENPOS-SCONDB
Design conditional knock‑outs in 300+ vertebrate.
"Single injection, hundreds of species."
SCON (Short Conditional intrON) is a next-generation tool that radically simplifies functional genetic studies. With just a 189-bp sequence, SCON enables conditional intron functionality across various vertebrate species. A single insertion allows fast and powerful generation of conditional alleles — all without the complexity of traditional floxed systems.
SCON—a Short Conditional intrON for conditional knockout
Experimental & molecular medicine 2022
The generation of conditional alleles using CRISPR technology is still challenging. Here, we introduce a Short Conditional intrON (SCON, 189 bp) that enables the rapid generation of conditional alleles via one-step zygote injection...
- One-step zygote injection
- 13 mouse lines generated
