aThe alleles that did not contain the inserts were not analyzed for the presence of indels because genotyping assays were mainly designed to identify the targeted-insertion alleles. However, noticeable deletions were observed for some samples (e.g., deletions in the non-targeted alleles; Fig. 2g, h; Additional file 1: Figure S2i)
-
bAnimals 3, 5, 7, and 8 were heterozygous for both 5′ and 3′ LoxP sites. Animal 5 had a floxed allele with one nucleotide insertion mutation at the intronic region, which may not affect function. Animals 2, 9, and 10 had only 5′ LoxP site, and animal 4 had only 3′ LoxP site (Fig. 1g)
-
cAnimals 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 were heterozygous for both the 5′ and 3′ LoxP sites (Fig. 2g). Animal 7 had a floxed allele with 1-bp insertion mutation in the intronic region, which may not affect function
-
dAnimals 1 and 2 were heterozygous for both 5′ and 3′ LoxP sites and they carried deletions in their second allele. Animal 3 was biallelic for both LoxP sites (Fig. 2h)
-
eAnimals 1 and 2 were heterozygous for both 5′ and 3′ LoxP sites (Fig. 2i)
-
fAnimals 4 and 7 had only 5′ LoxP insertion and the animal 6 had correctly targeted LoxP sites (Additional file 1: Figure S2g)
-
gAnimal 12 had correctly targeted LoxP sites and all others were wild type (Additional file 1: Figure S2h).
-
hAnimals 1 and 2 were heterozygous for both loxPs with deletions in the second allele and pup 3 was biallelic (Additional file 1: Figure S2i)
