Type JAX® GEMM® Strain - Mutant Stock Additional information on JAX® GEMM® Strains. Species laboratory mouse Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the skt mutation are smaller than their wild-type siblings and have a kinky tail with only the caudal vertebrae affected.Strain Development
The mutation small with kinky tail (skt) arose spontaneously in approximately 1985 in LT.MA-Glob t6, a stock constructed by Dr. J. Nadeau at The Jackson Laboratory. The first small, abnormal tailed male was mated to a B6C3F1-a/a F1 female. Their offspring were bred together and the stock was subsequently maintained segregating by sibling breeding heterozygotes with homozygotes. In 1989, when the strain was at F13 and beyond, heterozygous males were bred with homozygous females and homozygous females were bred with heterozygous males to generate embryos for cryopreservation.

| Supply Notes |
Cryorecovery - Standard. The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery. Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice. |
