Mouse family tree. Mouse strains are organized into six major groups of branches. Group 1: C3H/HeJ, C3H/HeN, C3H/HeSnJ, C3HeB/FeJ, SF/CamEi, CBA/CaJ, CBA/J, DBA/2J, DBA/lJ, CE/J, A/J, BALB/cByJ, BALB/cJ, and I/LnJ. Group 2: MOLF/Ei, MOLG/Dn, SKIVE/Ei, SPRET/Ei, CAST/Ei, PERA/Rk, and PERC/Ei. Group 3: C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J,C57BR/cdJ, C57L/J, C58/J, and LT/SvEi. Group 4: 101/H, 129P3/J, 129S1/SvlmJ, 129T2/SvEmsJ, 129X1/SvJ, 129S2/SvPas, 129S6/SvEv, LP/J, and BTBR +T tf/tf. Group 5: BDP/J, PL/J, SM/J, ST/J, KK/H1J, and RIIIS/J. Group 6: LG/J, MRL/MpJ, P/J, AKR/J, BUB/BnJ, NOD/LtJ, NON/LtJ, NZB/BlNJ, NZW/LacJ, SJL/J, SWR/J, and FVB/NJ. The length and angles of the branches are optimized for printing and are not quantitative measures of evolutionary distance between strains.
