  4. Cyagen's Year-End Savings: Save up to 10% on custom animal models

Save up to $6,310 on custom mouse and rat model | Cyagen

If you are seeking to generate a custom rodent model for your research project, it is the perfect time to lock-in savings and ensure funds don’t go to waste.

Cyagen's Year-End Savings Event can help you extend your research with big savings for multiple projects - save up to 10% off custom animal models for research. The more mouse models you order, the more you save!

Pay Now – Start Later

We can initiate projects to meet your project timeline – so you can lock-in promotional prices on multiple models and decide project details later. Our Model Design Specialists can provide complimentary project strategy details within 24 hours and initiate your project as soon or as late as you require.

TurboKnockout® - Proprietary Method for Accelerated Generation of Precise Mouse Models

Cyagen's Proprietary Method for Accelerated Generation of Precise Mouse Models

Our proprietary TurboKnockout® gene targeting method can provide you with conditional knockout, reporter knockin and humanization mouse models as fast as 6-8 months. This proprietary gene targeting method is enabled by two innovations:

Eliminates the unpredictability of germline transmission (GLT)with our super competent ESC line that generates 100% ESC-derived founder mice rather than chimeras.

Self-removing selection cassette circumvents the need to breed to Flp deleter mice.

These innovations eliminate at least two generations of breeding, shortening production time by 4-6 months as compared to the industry standard.

Donor Strains Mouse: C57BL/6, BALB/c

TurboKnockout® for BALB/c Drug Development Models

BALB/c is a laboratory-bred, albino strain of the house mouse, characterized by its immunodeficiency and extreme susceptibility to carcinogens. BALB/c mice are among the most widely used mouse strains across oncology, immunology, nuclear medicine research, and are often the first option for animal experimentation models in new drug development projects.

TurboKnockout® is based on traditional embryonic stem cell (ESC) targeting techniques, which can be used for complex genetic modification projects to provide BALB/c mouse models and is the technology of choice among our clients performing drug development projects.

Cyagen CRISPR-Pro Technology - Capabilities for Mouse & Rat Models

Engineered nuclease-mediated genome editing (especially CRISPR/Cas) is an emerging technology which can serve as an alternative to the conventional, ES cell homologous recombination-based knockout (KO) animal generation. These methods have enabled the generation of custom mouse and rat models with genetic knockouts, point mutations, and large fragment knockins (LFKIs).

Cyagen's CRISPR-based Rapid Knockout services use accelerated methodology that provides conventional knockout, reporter knockin, and humanization founder animals in as fast as 3 months.

Endogenous effects Can disrupt endogenous genes Less likely to disrupt endogenous genes Safe harbor locus
Donor Strain Information Mouse strains: C57BL/6, FVB
Rat strains: Sprague-Dawley (SD), Long Evans
Note: Other strains available upon request.

PiggyBac transgenic services can deliver single-copy transgenic animals with more consistent expression of your transgene. This proprietary transgenic method has the following advantages over other transgenic approaches:

Single-copy integration: Avoids potential gene silencing from multiple copies
Defined region of integration: No loss of transgene sequence (TTAA, transcription unit)
Reliability: More consistent expression pattern compared to plasmid based transgenics
Economical: Cost and turnaround time comparable to plasmid based transgenics

Customer Testimonials

"We generated a mouse knockout model using Cyagen’s TurboKnockout® technology. Cyagen's team was on time with milestones, provided constant updates on the project and delivered animals as promised. It was such a pleasure working with Cyagen that we decided to outsource the production of other animal models to them."
