Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockout strategy and genotyping of mutant mice. ( A ) Schematic strategies for the generation of KO mice using CRISPR/Cas9. 44 bp of Tex37 (a), 11 bp and 20 bp of Ccdc73 (b) and 17 bp of Prss55 ( c ) were deleted from Exon 2. While, 18 bp and 32 bp of Lyzl1 (d) and 101 bp of Nxt2 (e) were deleted from exon 3. ( B ) Genotype of each KO mouse was confirmed with PCR. ( C ) Representative Sanger sequence image for the verification of each KO mouse. Red arrow heads above the chromatograms and dashes in aligned cds sequences show the deletions.
