Genetic analysis and research services

Put our mouse genetics expertise to work for you

Our Genetic Analysis and Research Services use a validated panel of over 2,000 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. These markers are spaced an average of approximately 1.5 Mb or 0.75cM apart and are informative and easily assayed in 103 mouse strains, including virtually all of the most commonly used JAX® Mice inbred and wild-derived inbred strains.  This advanced panel is fast, reliable, cost-effective, and has several key advantages over traditional simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) marker analysis including higher resolution and greater inbred panel selection.

Detailed reports are provided for all of these services and investigators have direct access to our experienced technical information scientists and genetic research services staff.

We offer a suite of services to analyze the genomes of breeding strains and genetic crosses.

Speed congenic development service accelerates the development of a congenic strain, while simultaneously reducing facility, equipment and personnel costs.

Gene mapping service can identify the source of a novel mouse phenotype or find a non-targeted transgenic insertion site.

Genome scanning service can confirm strain identity and purity, monitor the genetic background of breeding strains, and analyze the genomes of genetic crosses.

Gene expression service can be used to assess the gene expression profile of mouse strains.
