Cellosaurus S2R+-Tnks-KO-3H (CVCL_XF74)

[Text version]
Cell line name S2R+-Tnks-KO-3H
Accession CVCL_XF74
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: S2R+-Tnks-KO-3H (RRID:CVCL_XF74)
Comments Group: Insect cell line.
From: Drosophila RNAi Screening Center (DRSC), Harvard Medical School; Boston; USA.
Characteristics: Using CRISPR/Cas9 Tnks alleles were replaced with an insertion cassette carrying PuroR.
Characteristics: Transfected with a pMT-FLAG-Cas9 construct where the expression of N-terminally FLAG-tagged Cas9 is driven by a copper-inducible metallothionein promoter (from parent cell line).
Knockout cell: Method=CRISPR/Cas9; FlyBase_Gene; FBgn0027508; Tnks.
Genetic integration: Method=CRISPR/Cas9; Gene=UniProtKB; P13249; Streptomyces alboniger pac (PuroR).
Genetic integration: Method=Protein trap; Gene=FPbase; ZERB6; mCherry (Note=Red fluorescent protein derived from drFP583 (dsRed)).
Genetic integration: Method=Transfection; Gene=UniProtKB; P00557; Escherichia coli hygromycin-B 4-O-kinase (hph) (HygR).
Genetic integration: Method=Transfection; Gene=UniProtKB; Q99ZW2; Streptomyces pyogenes Cas9 (Note=With a N-termial FLAG tag).
Derived from site: In situ; Whole embryo; UBERON=UBERON_0000922.
Species of origin Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly) (NCBI Taxonomy: 7227)
Breed/subspecies: Oregon-R; FlyBase_Strain=FBsn0000276.
