S.O.S. Colony Adrift: Protecting Mouse Colonies from Genetic Drift - Online Seminar

Written by BCI Staff | Feb 14, 2013 12:58:00 AM

S.O.S. Colony Adrift: Protecting Mouse Colonies from Genetic Drift

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

The March webinar series is about the ABC's of mouse research

The phenotypes of genetically modified mouse strains depend on the genetic mutation and background. Genetic background is subject to genetic drift that may result in phenotypic drift over time. In this webinar, we will discuss

The basis for genetic drift

Case studies demonstrating genetic drift and its effects on experimental results

The Jackson Laboratory’s unique Genetic Stability Program to stop cumulative genetic drift

Steps to ensure the long-term genetic and phenotypic stability of your mutant mice
