Inbred mouse strains and genetic stability: a review.
Inbred mice were essential animal models for scientific research during the 20th century and will contribute decisive results in the current and next centuries. Far from becoming an obsolete research tool, the generation of new inbred strains is continuing and such strains are being used in many research fields. However, their genetic properties have been overlooked for decades, although recent...
متن کاملGenetic and haplotype diversity among wild-derived mouse inbred strains.
With the completion of the mouse genome sequence, it is possible to define the amount, type, and organization of the genetic variation in this species. Recent reports have provided an overview of the structure of genetic variation among classical laboratory mice. On the other hand, little is known about the structure of genetic variation among wild-derived strains with the exception of the pres...
متن کاملGenetic epilepsy model derived from common inbred mouse strains.
The recombinant inbred mouse strain, SWXL-4, exhibits tonic-clonic and generalized seizures similar to the commonest epilepsies in humans. In SWXL-4 animals, seizures are observed following routine handling at about 80 days of age and may be induced as early as 55 days by rhythmic gentle tossing. Seizures are accompanied by rapid, bilateral high frequency spike cortical discharges and followed ...
متن کاملGenetic affinities of inbred mouse strains of uncertain origin.
Phylogenetic analyses of genetic data arising from 144 gene loci are used to describe the interrelationships among 24 widely used inbred strains of mice. An unordered-parsimony analysis gives a cladogram that is virtually identical to the known genealogy of the mouse strains. A loss-parsimony analysis is used to evaluate the hypothesis that the observed patterns of genetic divergence among thes...
متن کاملOrigin of inbred NZ mouse strains.
Inbreeding of mice was begun in 1948 in our labora tories in response to the request of Dr. Franz Bielschow sky, who recognized the need for genetically and nutri tionally uniform animals for cancer research. The resulting strains of inbred NZ mice proved useful for research in immunology, biochemistry, and other fields, and they have been widely distributed. We often have inquiries from invest...
