In two new papers, researchers from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) report the successful use of two approaches -- gene therapy ...

Eventually, increased demand for the mice, financial need at the lab and the realization that he was sitting on a gold mine made the decision easier, and 'JAX' mice were soon being mass-produced ...

JAX, which was originally founded in 1929 to uncover the genetic basis of cancer, has pioneered the use of laboratory mice as models for human disease. Today, it works at the interface of mouse ...

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 ...

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 ...
