Resource manuals

Resource manuals are available on the following topics:

Breeding strategies
Cancer
Cardiovascular
Infectious disease
Genetic background
Neurobiology
Type 2 diabetes & obesity

	Breeding Strategies for Maintaining Mice Colonies This manual describes breeding strategies and techniques for maintaining colonies of laboratory mice. These techniques have been developed and used by The Jackson Laboratory for over 75 years. They are safe, reliable, economical, efficient, and ensure that the mouse strains produced are genetically well defined. Request a copy of the breeding strategies resource manual back to top
	Cancer Research The purpose of the Cancer Resource Manual is to inform investigators of the extensive resources available for cancer research at The Jackson Laboratory. They include hundreds of cancer research mouse models, publicly accessible databases such as the Mouse Tumor Biology Database, courses and conferences on and related to cancer and stem cell research, and the results of research by Jackson Laboratory scientists.

	Cardiovascular Research This manual highlights and compares more than 30 JAX^® Mice models suitable for cardiovascular research. It also describes other Jackson Laboratory resources, including courses, Web sites, and JAX^® Services, as well as briefly summarizing relevant research conducted by Jackson Laboratory Investigators.
