MGI - Inbred Strains: CAST

Inbred Strains of Mice: CAST

CAST

Inbr ?+34 (1989). Origin: same as CASA. Resistant to flavivirus, unlike most laboratory mice except C3H.RV (

Sangster et al 1993

). Low retinal ganglion cell number (2/24) (

Williams et al, 1996

). Used as a tester strain in a novel strategy for mapping new mutations in laboratory mice using simple sequence repeats (SSR) with DNA pools from mutant and wild-type F2 progeny. A set of 39 SSRs is expected to screen 94% of the autosomal genome in crosses with laboratory strains (

Taylor et al, 1994

).
