Founded in Bar Harbor, in 1929, the lab sold 10 strains in its first commercial catalog (for 10 cents a mouse). Today, Jackson Laboratory, or JAX, offers mouse models both bred and genetically ...

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 ...

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

Originally collected on the island of Castania and brought to JAX in 1971, CAST mice were bred at JAX to maintain a genetically pure line, creating a model as true to the mouse genome as possible.

"It's easy enough to create mouse models for studying amyloid plaques," said Greg Carter, the Bernard and Lusia Milch Endowed Chair at JAX who also leads the Model Organism Development and ...

Patients with rare mitochondrial diseases already face a host of serious health issues, from muscle weakness to neurological problems and heart conditions.

Originally collected on the island of Castania and brought to JAX in 1971, CAST mice were bred at JAX to maintain a genetically pure line, creating a model as true to the mouse genome as possible.

"It's easy enough to create mouse models for studying amyloid plaques," said Greg Carter, the Bernard and Lusia Milch Endowed Chair at JAX who also leads the Model Organism Development and ...

Scientists hope these mice will more accurately reflect the changes that occur in people with AD, Michael Sasner at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) told Alzforum. “The disease models we have been using ...

To see whether the variable human response could be replicated in mice, a team of researchers led by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Scientific Director and Professor Nadia Rosenthal, Ph.D., F.Med.Sci., ...
