Strain Registration

Strain: NMcwi:HS

Symbol: NMcwi:HS
Strain: HS
Substrain: NMcwi
Full Name: Heterogeneous stock
RGD ID: 2314009
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_2314009
Ontology ID: RS:0002539
Previously known as: HS rats
Type: outbred
Source: Department of Pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Origin: 25 breeding pairs were obtained from Dr. Eva Redei, Northwestern University (Chicago) at 55 breeding generations; these animals exhibit 30% genome-wide heterozygosity which is maintained by using a rotational breeding strategy were two parameters are used: The first is the number of cages used for breeding and the second is the spacing between each cage (containing a female for mating) and the cage to which it is mated (containing a male for mating). This spacing is called the rotational delay. A rotational delay of 1 is used, in which a female from cage 1 mates with a male from cage 2, a male from cage 2 mates with a female from cage 3, etc.
Last Known Status: Unknown
