This track shows genes targeted by International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC), a collaboration to generate a public resource of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells containing a null mutation in every gene in the mouse genome. Gene targets are color-coded by status:
The KnockOut Mouse Project Data Coordination Center (KOMP DCC) is the central database resource for coordinating mouse gene targeting within IKMC and provides web-based query and display tools for IKMC data. In addition, the KOMP DCC website provides a tool for the scientific community to nominate genes of interest to be knocked out by the KOMP initiative.
IKMC members include
Items displayed as a solid box represent the gene regions targeted by the Regeneron gene knockout strategy. In most cases Regeneron alleles will be complete null alleles that delete the entire protein coding sequence of the target gene.
Items displayed as lines connecting short boxes represent the targeting vector construct strategy used by EuCOMM, NorCOMM, and CSD. This strategy relies on the identification of a "critical" exon common to all transcript variants that, when deleted, creates a frame-shift mutation. The short boxes in the middle of an item show the vector features that surround the critical exon.
Using complementary targeting strategies, the IKMC centers design and create targeting vectors, mutant ES cell lines and, to some extent, mutant mice, embryos or sperm. Materials are distributed to the research community.
The KOMP Repository archives, maintains, and distributes IKMC products. Researchers can order products and get product information from the Repository. Researchers can also express interest in products that are still in the pipeline. They will then receive email notification as soon as KOMP generated products are available for distribution.

Thanks to the International Knockout Mouse Consortium, and Carol Bult in particular, for providing these data.
