Speed Congenic Breeding
Accelerate your breeding plan with the Mouse Biology Program by leveraging advanced back-crossing techniques through speed-congenic breeding methods, ensuring faster and more efficient development of your desired mouse models.
Enhance the efficiency of your breeding plan with advanced background strain analysis using genotyping arrays. These specialized services help researchers accelerate the creation of actual congenic strains.
After each breeding round, the offspring are thoroughly analyzed to identify mice with the highest percentage of your desired strain. These precise insights recommend the best candidates for your next breeding cycle, ensuring a streamlined and effective process.
To maximize success, it is suggested that more animals be screened during the early generations (N2/N3). The effectiveness of this approach increases with the number of mice tested. By following this optimized strategy, generation N5 or N6 can establish a congenic line in just 1.5 years—significantly faster than the traditional method, which takes about three years and ten generations. This accelerated timeline saves valuable time and enhances consistency in your genetic research.
With MBP’s speed-congenic breeding services, you can experience faster, more reliable results and more efficiently achieve your research goals.
