In contrast, the Speed Congenics program requires a maximum of five generations where candidate breeders are genotyped at each generation and those with highest percentage of the desired strain are selected to father the next generation. (fleming.gr)
Laboratory Animal Genetic Services (LAGS) provides MD Anderson investigators with cost - effective, customized genome scans using polymorphic genetic markers to support rapid congenic line development and background strain characterization for mice and rats. (mdanderson.ilabsolutions.com)
