Abstract excerpt
To date, animal models with reproductive phenotypes are knockout or transgenic and typically exhibit reduced fertility or infertility. This limits research to studying single-gene effects or loss of fertility. By contrast, Dummerstorf high-fertility mouse lines 1 and 2 (FL1 and FL2) are two unique outbred selection models that demonstrate exceptional reproductive performance. After approximately 50 years of...
