Search the FGSC Strain Database
The interactive catalog has recent strain listings.
Cloned genes and gene libraries
Including libraries from the genome projects
Knockout strains are listed in the FGSC database (search here)
The Dunlap lab at Dartmouth maintains a web-archive with a complete cross referencing list.
- KO Protocol
- Primers used to make KOs
- Information about available KO strains
- KO strain plates and inauthentic KOs
Arrayed mutants sets
We have arrayed ko mutants into 96-well plates. They are available as glycerol
stocks, shipped frozen in dry ice.
This page also contains information on non-authentic knock-outs as well as
unlinked 'soft' mutants.
SNP primer sets are available and are described in
Genetics
181:767-781
We have frozen primers in 96 well format as sent from IDT and can send them
frozen on dry ice.
Several cDNA libraries are
available from the FGSC
The Knockout kit can be viewed here for people
who want to make their own KOs.
The sequence of the pCSN44 is
here.
