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
