JAX Genetic Quality Control (GQC) Program
JAX’s rigorous Genetic Quality Control (GQC) Program effectively prevents genetic contamination by detecting and eliminating breeding errors early, before mice are given the chance to breed.
JAX® Mice are the industry standard for animal model research, using precise genome solutions to better understand human disease. Our rigorous Animal Health Programs and stringent genetic quality standards ensure the reproducibility and validity of your experimental data.
JAX’s rigorous Genetic Quality Control (GQC) Program effectively prevents genetic contamination by detecting and eliminating breeding errors early, before mice are given the chance to breed.
Our unique, patented Genetic Stability Program (GSP) effectively limits cumulative genetic drift, including that caused by copy number variation (CNV), by rebuilding our foundation stocks from cryopreserved, pedigreed embryos every five generations.
The JAX® Mice repository offers the greatest variety of inbred, hybrid and mutant mice in the industry.
JAX® Mice are the most well-characterized and widely used mice available.
The Jackson Laboratory is committed to setting quality standards in animal care and ensuring that these standards are maintained throughout all of our mouse colonies.
JAX® Mice are bred within and shipped from multiple animal rooms. Click here for the most up to date health status reports for all rooms.
