Combined detection and introgression of QTL in outbred populations [PDF]
Detecting a QTL is only the first step in genetic improvement programs. When a QTL with desirable characteristics is found, e.g. in a wild or unimproved population, it may be interesting to introgress the detected QTL into the commercial population.

Evaluation of an outbred mouse model for Francisella tularensis vaccine development and testing.
Francisella tularensis (Ft) is a biothreat agent for which there is no FDA-approved human vaccine. Currently, there are substantial efforts underway to develop both vaccines and the tools to assess these vaccines.

Induction of liver transplant immune tolerance in an outbred rat strain model using tacrolimus
Background Orthotopic liver transplantation is the only option for patients with end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy is important to prevent graft failure.

High-resolution mapping of gene expression using association in an outbred mouse stock.
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis is a powerful tool for mapping genes for complex traits in mice, but its utility is limited by poor resolution. A promising mapping approach is association analysis in outbred stocks or different inbred strains. As

Genetic variation and population substructure in outbred CD-1 mice: implications for genome-wide association studies. [PDF]
Outbred laboratory mouse populations are widely used in biomedical research. Since little is known about the degree of genetic variation present in these populations, they are not widely used for genetic studies.
