ROSA26 ( English Reverse Oriented Splice Acceptor, Clone 26 ) refers to a position in the genome of mice on chromosome 6, between the base positions 113067428 and 113077333.

properties

The ROSA26 position is characterized by a consistently strong transcription of inserted genes in all developmental stages and cell types . The modified gene locus ROSAβgeo26 in modified laboratory strains contains a β-galactosidase and a neomycin phosphotransferase as reporter genes in the ROSA26 gene locus . The Cre recombinase , among other things, is used for insertion (e.g. a gene knockin ) .

The name ROSAβgeo26 refers to the particular type of gene trapping vector used, which has a splice -Erkennungs sequence contains in the reverse orientation. The number 26 is the original number of the cell clone . The ROSA26 gene locus was first identified in 1991 by Philippe Soriano's group using gene trapping in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC). In the meantime, more than 130 transgenic mouse lines have been produced in which different genes have been inserted at the position of ROSA26. The human homolog of ROSA26 has similar properties.
