New JAX® Mice strains

The Jackson Laboratory is a worldwide distributor and international repository for thousands of mouse models. This collection of JAX® Mice strains is increasing by over 400 new mouse models annually. New models being imported for distribution, listed as 'strains under development' and strains just released from development or hold can be found by searching the JAX® Mice Database or through the links below.


Newly available strains

JAX® Mice released for distribution within the last six months are listed by research area from the links on the right. This list also includes strains recently released from hold.

  • Colony size is based on the needs of the research community. Please refer to the JAX® Mice Database for current availability and pricing information.
  • Larger quantities of mice can be easily arranged to meet your research needs. Please contact customer service or JAX® Services.

Strains under development

The strain development process (i.e., importation, rederivation, and colony expansion) usually takes six to 12 months. Learn more on our Frequently Asked Questions web page.

Availability dates are provided once anials have cleared importation and we have established a live colony. See the 'Purchasing information' tab on the strain datasheet for the 'Estimated available for sale' date.

Register your interest in strains under development or strains on hold

  • To register your interest in a strain, complete the web form at the 'register interest' link found at the top of the strain datasheet.
  • Registering interest allows us to build the colony size to meet the expected demand for the strain.
  • Those that register will receive approximately three weeks advance notice before a strain becomes publicly available for order. Orders will be filled in the order in which registration occurred.
  • When a strain becomes available, you may want to consider the option of a dedicated supply. Learn more about JAX® Services Dedicated Supply.
