Ah, thanks. I looked but not carefully enough!

C57BL/6 – the canonical inbred fully homozygous mouse that unfortunately is used as the “HeLa cell” of almost all experimental murine biomedical research. I understand the reason this happened, but there is no excuse in 2024 to use just one genome (and an inbred one at that) to test translational relevance.

Consider this work a pilot worth testing in NZO, DBA, A, C3H and BALB strains and some F1 hybrids. Whatever the results they should have good generality to mice in general.
