Mouse strains analyzed in this study. (a) CRL; Charles River Laboratories, Manston, UK; (b) F1 cross animals bred at CRL: B6CBA are routinely available, CBAB6 was set up as a custom request. (c) These are an MF1 outbred strain carrying a Y chromosome derived from RIII strain. Males were obtained from Dr Paul Burgoyne (NIMR) in 2013 and the strain subsequently maintained in Cambridge animal facilities. MF1 females to maintain this strain were sourced from CRL.
