The Jackson Laboratory to Offer Free Nomenclature Webinar

Join us at your computer on Thursday, March 18, from 4:00-5:00pm (ET in the US) for a free live tutorial on interpreting mouse nomenclature and more.

As the number and complexity of substrains and mutant mouse strains increases, understanding strain nomenclature is more important than ever. Proper nomenclature communicates the genetic makeup of a mouse strain and helps ensure reliable and reproducible experimental results. This webinar will cover the following topics:

• Interpreting mouse strain nomenclature

• Mouse substrains and how they develop

• The critical factors affecting mouse phenotypes, including

- Gene modifications

- Genetic background

- Environmental factors

- Genetic drift

• Minimizing genetic instability in mouse strains

• The importance of using proper mouse nomenclature in your publications
