Quality Control Statements of Genetic Background of Animals

Genotype Identification

Stage 1: Full Inspection

From generation F1 to generation F3, the first two embryos of each generation are analyzed consecutively, and 100% of modified targets are analyzed;

Stage 2: 20% Sampling Inspection

For generation F4, the first two embryos of each generation are analyzed consecutively, and 20% of modified targets are analyzed;

For offspring produced by IVF based on homozygote, sampling inspection is also performed at a sampling ratio of 20%

Stage 3: 5% Sampling Inspection

For generation F5, the first two embryos of each generation are analyzed consecutively, and 5% of modified targets are analyzed;

Stage 4: Quarterly Sampling Inspection

From generation F6 to generation F7, 5% of modified targets are analyzed every quarter;

Stage 5: Annual Sampling Inspection

From generation F8 on, for each generation with a population size of greater than 1000, 16 animals are analyzed every month;

For each generation with a population size below 1000, quarterly sampling inspection at a sampling ratio of 5% is maintained;

A comprehensive genetic background test is carried out each year (to determine the number of corresponding sites depending on characteristics of the investigated mice)

 

Note: for each mouse, its tail is cut off prior to weaning, and for each back-up mouse left for species conservation, its tail is cut off again prior to mating. (i.e., when back-up parental mice weaned at the age of 3 weeks have been fed for 6 weeks, one collective tail cutting is arranged for genotype verification);

Normal testing will not be resumed until stage 4
