Journal Article
A robust and high-throughput Cre reporting and characterization system for the whole mouse brain
2010
Overview
This Resource paper describes a set of five new reporter mice, derived from Rosa26, driving Cre-dependent strong and ubiquitous expression of fluorescent proteins. In particular, the new mice show clear and specific expression patterns in the adult brain. The mice are available through Jackson Laboratories, and growing expression datasets can be accessed at

.
The Cre/lox system is widely used in mice to achieve cell-type-specific gene expression. However, a strong and universally responding system to express genes under Cre control is still lacking. We have generated a set of Cre reporter mice with strong, ubiquitous expression of fluorescent proteins of different spectra. The robust native fluorescence of these reporters enables direct visualization of fine dendritic structures and axonal projections of the labeled neurons, which is useful in mapping neuronal circuitry, imaging and tracking specific cell populations
in vivo
. Using these reporters and a high-throughput
in situ
hybridization platform, we are systematically profiling Cre-directed gene expression throughout the mouse brain in several Cre-driver lines, including new Cre lines targeting different cell types in the cortex. Our expression data are displayed in a public online database to help researchers assess the utility of various Cre-driver lines for cell-type-specific genetic manipulation.
