General description
Embryonic Stem Cell line derived from C57BL/6N blastocysts. C57BL/6N is the most commonly used inbred mouse strain. Large scale mouse knockout projects such as NIH’s KOMP project use C57BL/6 as the standard background for mouse genome engineering. C57BL/6 is also the reference strain for mouse genome sequencing at the NHGRI. C57BL/6N mice show good breeding performance. As a commonly used reference strain, transgenic mouse models are often backcrossed to a uniform C57BL/6 background, and B6 ES cells facilitate building complex models which combine gene inactivation with existing transgenics maintained in a B6 background. Additional phenotypic information is available at the Mouse Genome Informatics website (http://www.informatics.jax.org/external/festing/mouse/docs/C57BL.shtml). The B6 ES line was genome verified by determining the alleles at 29 SNPs that are informative across a large number of inbred mouse strains.
