Strain characteristics MyoD-deficient rats (-/-) die neonatally within 24 hours after birth. Breeding Conditions Maintained by natural mating between heterozygous rats. Genotyping The genotype of each rat is examined by PCR. Primer F: ATTGTACTATTGGGGTTCAGGAGTG Primer R: CAGACCTTCAATGTAGCGGATG PCR conditions: KOD FX Neo was used. 94℃ 5 min x 1 cycle, 98℃ 10 sec, 58℃ 30 sec, 68℃ 40 sec x 38 cycles. A microchip electrophoresis device for DNA/RNA analysis (Multina) is used for analysis. Wild type: 568 bp, homozygous deletion: 224 bp, heterozygous: 568 bp and 224 bp References Additional strain information
