The Interaction of Genetic Background and Mutational Effects in Regulation of Mouse Craniofacial Shape. [PDF]
Inbred genetic background significantly influences the expression of phenotypes associated with known genetic perturbations and can underlie variation in disease severity between individuals with the same mutation.

Analysis of microsatellite polymorphism in inbred knockout mice. [PDF]
Previously, we found that the genotype of 42 out of 198 mouse microsatellite loci, which are distributed among all chromosomes except the Y chromosome, changed from monomorphism to polymorphism (CMP) in a genetically modified inbred mouse strain. In this

Commonly used classical inbred mouse strains have mosaic genomes with sequences from different subspecific origins. Their genomes are derived predominantly from the Western European subspecies Mus musculus domesticus, with the remaining sequences derived

Interfrontal Bone Among Inbred Strains of Mice and QTL Mapping
The interfrontal bone (IF) is a minor skeletal trait residing between the frontal bones. IF is considered a quasi-continuous trait. Genetic and environmental factors appear to play roles in its development. The mechanism(s) underlying IF bone development

Whole-genome sequencing reveals the genetic mechanisms of domestication in classical inbred mice
Background The laboratory mouse was domesticated from the wild house mouse. Understanding the genetics underlying domestication in laboratory mice, especially in the widely used classical inbred mice, is vital for studies using mouse models. However, the

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved outcomes for a variety of malignancies; however, many patients fail to benefit. While tumor-intrinsic mechanisms are likely involved in therapy resistance, it is unclear to what extent host genetic ...

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]
The elucidation of the pathogenesis of human renal disease at the molecular level has been facilitated by the growing field of gene targeting and the development of mouse strains with single-gene deletions - the `knock-out' mice. Experimental nephrology,

Novel Bivalent mRNA-LNP Vaccine for Highly Effective Protection against Pneumonic Plague. [PDF]
The study investigates mRNA‐lipid nanoparticle vaccines targeting Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. Combined F1+LcrV mRNA vaccination elicited robust immune responses and protected mice against virulent wild‐type and atypical strains.

Strain-dependent variations in stress coping behavior are mediated by a 5-HT/GABA interaction within the prefrontal corticolimbic system [PDF]
Background: Serotonin and γ- Aminobutyric acid (GABA) transmission is crucial in coping strategies. Methods: Here, using mice from 2 inbred strains widely exploited in behavioral neurochemistry, we investigated whether serotonin transmission in medial ...
