Breeding Wave Schedule for 009376 J:DO
- The Diversity Outbred (DO) stock is bred in waves, producing mice for shipment approximately 4 times per calendar year.
- When placing your order please indicate the desired generation for shipping.
- Due to the breeding frequency, age requests and specific ship dates are not guaranteed.
- Due to aggression, orders must ship in the time frame assigned to the providing generation.
- Due to the limitations of the colony size, non-sibling cohorts will be limited to 50 mice per sex, per customer, per generation.¹
- Contact our Customer Service to place an order.

¹ For small studies using less than 50 DO mice, it may be helpful to avoid using siblings in order to maximize allelic variation within the cohort. For larger studies, including genetic mapping, it is not possible to avoid siblings or other closely related animals (double-cousins) due to the limitations of the breeding colony size. The presence of close relatives can be understood through genetic analysis of kinship and may even assist with estimating heritability of a trait. Therefore, non-siblings can only be requested for orders under 50 mice per breeding wave (i.e. generation). No matter the size of the order, all are filled in a manner that minimizes the numbers of closely related animals, unless siblings are specifically requested. * A 30.6% upcharge will be applied per non-sibling mouse.
² Deadlines for each generation will include order placement and any updates to order. Updates to orders past this deadline are subject to rescheduling
