Abstract excerpt
Knockout mice are typically generated on a mixed genetic background and, as such, detailed behavioural characterisation of these background strains is essential to the valid interpretation of mutant phenotypes. In this context, recent research has revealed significant differences in anxiety-like behaviour among the most commonly used background strains (C57BL/6J and various 129 substrains), leading to the...
