There is some good news: the development of JAX diversity outbred (J:DO) mice. These mice are better models of human genetic diversity, have much more uniformly and widely distributed genetic ...

Scientists studying aging can purchase elderly mice from JAX for their work; those researching disorders of balance can turn to mice with defects of the inner ear that cause the creatures to keep ...

Now, in a long-awaited study appearing in the Oct. 9 issue of Nature, scientists at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and ...

Many of our transgenic lines come from the Jackson Laboratories, an NIH-supported repository for genetically engineered mice. All of our published lines are available either through Jax or the related ...
