Diversity Outbred Mice at 21: Maintaining Allelic Variation in the Face of Selection

Multi-parent populations (MPPs) capture and maintain the genetic diversity from multiple inbred founder strains to provide a resource for high-resolution genetic mapping through the accumulation of recombination events over many generations. Breeding designs that maintain a large effective populatio...
