Details

Inventory fluctuates based on current demand. If a strain is not immediately available, an estimated lead time will be provided in 2-3 business days.

General considerations:

Mice are typically delivered at 4-8 weeks of age
Age requests are not guaranteed.
If cohorts of mice are needed at a specific age range for experiments, inquire with Customer Service for feasibility.

How it's Made

Recombinant Inbred (RI)

Originating Article

Browse References >

The BXD RI strains are used to study the genetics of behavioral phenotypes including alcohol and drug addiction, stress, and locomotor activity. The BXD set of RI strains also is used in the genetic analysis of numerous complex or potentially complex physiologic phenotypes including differences in organ weight and bone mineral density.

The strain distribution pattern (SDP) for the BXD RI strains is available through the Mouse Genome Informatics Contributed Data Sets and Gene Network. Additional tools and information are presented through the Mouse Phenome Database Specialized Strain Panel Query Form, and Gene Network .

The BXD set of RI strains was developed in the laboratory of Benjamin Taylor and was transferred to The Jackson Laboratory from Dr. Taylor's research colony upon his retirement. Of 42 BXD RI strains originally derived from the C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) and DBA/2J (Stock No. 000671), a number have become extinct over the years. The other BXD RI strains now being distributed are listed under "Related Recombinant Inbred Strains."

The Jackson Laboratory ensures the genetic quality and genotyping of JAX® Mice strains before making them available to researchers. However, phenotypes may vary due to environmental conditions and may not be fully characterized. Phenotype descriptions are based on published data, and JAX does not guarantee phenotype or breeding performance.

To ensure JAX® Mice meet your research needs, we recommend:

Genotyping mutant mice upon arrival.
Performing pilot experiments on a small number of mice.
Ordering more than one breeding pair to establish your colony and avoid delays.
