Streamlined computational pipeline for genetic background characterization of genetically engineered mice based on next generation sequencing data

Abstract Background Genetically engineered mice (GEM) are essential tools for understanding gene function and disease modeling. Historically, gene targeting was first done in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) derived from the 129 family of inbred strains, leading to a mixed background or congenic mice whe...
