Stock ID | SD01567 |
Strain Name | IA203 |
AKA | janA-1 IVd |
Species | T. thermophila |
Genetic Description | janA-1/janA-1; eja1-1/eja1-1 (janA-1; eja1-1; janA, eja1, IV) |
MAC Knockins/outs | |
MIC Knockins/outs | |
Gene of Interest | JANA (janusA) (originally published as jan (janus); EJA (enhancer of janA) |
Origin | The original janA clone was obtained by genetic rescue of a clone selected in 1976 by Bruns and Sanford (PNAS 75: 3355-3358) using nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis followed by short-circuit genomic exclusion. The derivation of IA203 included an outcross of the original janA clone to CU329, followed by two generations of outcrossing to B1975 III. IA 203 is one generation "downstream" from the foundation janA stock IA192 (unfortunately non-recoverable) and one generation "upstream" from IA220. |
