Why JAX® Mice?

The Jackson Laboratory was founded on the idea that significant advances in human health are achieved when scientists work together in the right environment with the right tools. As the world's largest mouse model repository, we provide reliable, global access to over 13,000 of the most common and unique mouse strains. All mice added to the JAX repository have undergone critical review by the Genetic Resource Committee and have been genetically characterized to ensure their scientific validity. When you choose JAX mice, not only do you get the precise model you expect, but you also gain JAX scientists, veterinarians, colony managers, and experts as an extension of your team - all dedicated to advancing your research success.
