Announcing improvements to JAX® Mice Strain Data Sheets
We are happy to announce that JAX® Mice Strain Data Sheets now feature a new tabbed format beginning September 12th! This new format is designed to allow ultimate flexibility while moving in and out of the data sheets.
Each data sheet features seven tabs. The top area of the data sheet will remain the same as you toggle through each tab. Below are descriptions of the content found within each tab area. When you hold the cursor over a tab a ‘popup’ description of the tab contents will appear. Similarly, the indicated availability level of a strain features a popup explaining the details of the strain's availability when you hold the cursor over the text.

- Tab also includes a representative image of the strain (when available)
Phenotype tab
