About
The mouse strain C57BL/6J is one of the most widely utilized inbred models in biomedical research; it has served as a foundational tool across numerous scientific disciplines, including genetics, immunology, metabolism, and neuroscience. Originally developed in the early 20th century, this strain has been extensively characterized and serves as the reference background for many genetically engineered mouse models. This webinar highlights many aspects of C57BL/6J strain that researchers will find impactful, including:
- Origin of the strain
- How genetic stability is maintained today
- The utility of C57BL/6J from model generation to research areas where the model excels
- Known strain irregularities and their potential impact on experimental design and colony management
