Mouse data to build on
Don't characterize, validate!
Access data on more than 700 strains contributed by the world-wide scientific community through the Mouse Phenome Database.
Access the Mouse Phenome Database
You use well characterized reagents, use well characterized mice!
More than 80% of all mouse model publications citing a strain source cite JAX® Mice for their studies. Full genome sequence available for 16 inbred JAX® Mice strains including the C57BL/6J reference genome.
Knowledge to drive discovery
Whether you're new to the mouse, an experienced researcher, or overseeing staff training, you have access to a complete spectrum of educational tools to meet your needs and busy schedule.
- Webinars
- Podcasts
- Databases
- Courses, conferences & workshops
- Online trouble-shooting and tutorials
- Email newsletters
Expanding collection
...of cutting-edge models to fulfill your needs
- More than 6,000 of the most common and unique strains available
- Over 2,000 strains maintained live to accelerate your project timelines
- More than 500 new strains added to our collection every year
- Extensive selection of Cre-lox strains, rare disease models and more
Genetic stability
Don't let genetic drift derail your research
Avoid genetic drift and the misleading results that can follow. Our patented Genetic Stability Program (GSP) prevents cumulative genetic drift in the most commonly used research strains. (U.S. Patent numbers 7592501 and 8110721)
