inbred strain

Qualification basis

Record the authority's requirements separately from the evidence that a lineage satisfies them.

1. Which authority and version define inbred-strain status for this taxon? definition
2. Which requirements are supported, contradicted or undocumented for this lineage? boundary

Classification discriminators

Use reproduction, pedigree and genetic evidence rather than appearance or naming alone.

1. Does the record describe a maintained inbred lineage, an F1 cross, a clone or a stock still undergoing inbreeding? boundary
2. What evidence distinguishes the claimed category from its closest alternative? provenance

Traceable founding descent

Associate ancestral animals or stocks with pedigree records and explicitly mark gaps.

1. Which founders or ancestral stocks are documented, and where are the supporting breeding records? provenance
2. From which mating event are inbreeding generations counted, and which generations lack records? measurement

Regime and exceptions

Record mating relationships, substitutions, outcrosses and any justification for equivalent inbreeding.

1. Which mating relationships were used in each documented period, including any outcross or breeder substitution? provenance
2. Under the adopted standard, how should each interruption or alternative regime affect the qualification claim? action

Assay-bounded uniformity

Record genomic coverage and sampling limits for both homozygosity and between-animal agreement.

1. What residual heterozygosity and between-animal discordance were measured, using which denominators and quality filters? measurement
2. Which animals, generations, colonies and genomic regions does the evidence cover? boundary

Authentication interpretation

Record reference provenance and alternative explanations for a genetic mismatch.

1. Which authenticated reference and marker set support the identity comparison? provenance
2. What follow-up evidence would distinguish assay error, sample mix-up, contamination, residual segregation or lineage change? action

Strain-substrain resolution

Link each designation to its parent lineage, separation history and nomenclature decision.

1. Which exact strain or substrain designation applies, and which authority or provider supports it? provenance
2. Does a separately maintained branch require a substrain designation under the applicable rules? boundary

Stock and archive chain

Associate each available stock with its source generation, transfer history and authentication evidence.

1. Which transfers, archived lots and recovery events connect this stock to the claimed lineage? provenance
2. What identity checks are needed before recovered or newly acquired material is accepted as a working stock? action

Contextualised strain traits

Record the scope of trait evidence before applying it to other stocks or settings.

1. Which substrain, stock, sex, age and environmental conditions underlie the reported trait? provenance
2. What evidence supports transferring that observation to the stock and conditions now proposed? boundary

Fit for comparison

Assess a proposed control or substitute against the experiment's specific dependence on genetic background.

1. Which strain, substrain and stock differences could confound the proposed comparison? boundary
2. Should the agent accept the match, obtain further authentication or select another stock given those differences? action
