Mouse strains used in GTTF:

Transgene injections:

B6D2F1, (C57BL/6 F X DBA2 M), black, Jackson Lab Stock #100006

Transgenic founders are B6D2F2.

This is the default strain we will use unless otherwise requested.

The inbred strains are generally less efficient for production of transgenic mice, and will therefore be more costly for you.
