describing a strain produced through successive generations of inbreeding resulting in a population of genetically identical individuals which are homozygous at all genetic loci
A relatively true breeding strain resulting from at least five successive generations of controlled self fertilization or of back-crossing to a recurrent parent with selection or its equivalent
a strain produced through successive generations of inbreeding resulting in a population of genetically identical individuals which are homozygous at all genetic loci
A group of organisms so highly inbred as to be genetically identical, except for sexual differences Brother sister matings have been maintained for 20 or more generations
Animals that result from the process of at least twenty sequential generations of brother-sister matings This process is called inbreeding (see Chapter 3) See Inbred Strain in the MGI Glossary
