Transgene injections:
- B6SJLF1/J, (C57BL/6 Female X SJL Male), agouti, Jackson Lab Stock #100012
- Transgenic founders are B6SJLF2.
- This is the default strain we will use unless otherwise requested.
The inbred strains are generally less efficient for production of transgenic mice, and will therefore be more costly for you.
