Making Sense of Mouse Nomenclature & Promoting Genetic Stability - Webinar

Posted on Aug 19, 2013 11:50:00 PM

Making Sense of Mouse Nomenclature and Promoting Genetic Stability

Webinar - The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, US

What’s in a name? From mouse nomenclature you can determine genetic background, genetic modifications, who created the strain and who currently distributes it. Genetic changes that occur in mouse strains are reflected in the formal nomenclature. Learn how maintaining genetic stability is critical to generating the most reliable and reproducible data. In this webinar you will learn

How to decode inbred, mutant and transgenic mouse strain names

Critical factors that affect strain phenotypes: strain background, environmental factors, and genetic drift

How quickly substrains can develop and their research implications

Best practices to maintain a genetically consistent mouse colony

Presenter: Jim Yeadon, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
Moderator: Dolores Garcia-Arocena, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
