Goals of the Study
Evaluate mouse phenotypes at three sites using simultaneously performed identical procedures.
Establish the feasibility of implementing precise test protocols in multiple sites.
We sought to maximize standardization of protocols across site, often to a level of minor nuance, and at times perhaps not the �best� methodology possible for a task.
Examine stability of strain differences across three laboratories, shipping status, and gender.
Evaluate a broad-based behavioral test battery.
Generate a roadmap for future studies designed to focus on narrower domains of phenotypes.
