JAX Leap Licensing

The Jackson Laboratory maintains one of the world's largest repositories of genetically engineered mutant mouse models including strains donated from researchers across the globe. Our goal is to ensure you have access to these models when you need them without having to negotiate licensing that may exist on certain strains. With our Leap Program, JAX has simplified the licensing process so you have fast and easy access to the best models for your research.

How Leap Licensing works

With the JAX Leap license, a single agreement gives you access to every strain in the Leap portfolio. The pricing displayed on the strain data sheet includes all relevant fees associated with the Leap license. When you order mice, JAX will pass along any royalties to the donating institution on a per mouse basis.

Which strains are covered by the Leap License?

You can find Leap Strains from the JAX Mice Search page and selecting “Leap License” from the Usage filters. Also, strains with Leap Licensing will have it denoted by the strain nomenclature.
