Cyagen can create any custom mouse or rat model for your project, from simple knockout (KO) and point mutation constructs, all the way through to more complicated constructs, such as conditional knockin (cKI) or humanization models. We have also established over 16,000 strains of KO and cKO mouse models available for ordering from the Cyagen Knockout Catalog Models repository.

Custom Mouse & Rat Model Generation
Knockouts (KO)
Constitutive knockouts can be quickly generated utilizing TurboKnockout® embryonic stem cell (ESC) based technology providing ESC based models at timelines comparable to CRISPR based models. CRISPR is also available, with AI-based bioinformatic analysis driving identification of the optimal region to target.
Conditional Knockouts and Knock-ins (cKO/cKI)
Conditional knockouts and knock-ins can also be quickly generated using TurboKnockout®. With a germline guarantee and self-deleting selection cassette, TurboKnockout® accelerates traditional ESC based model generation.
Point Mutation Knock-ins
Point mutations can be quickly generated via CRISPR or Cyagen’s accelerated ESC based method, TurboKnockout®, enabling more complex point mutations and/or genetic modifications.
Large-fragment Knock-ins (LFKI)
Rosa26 and other safe harbor loci can be targeted for large fragment knock-ins (LFKI) using a variety of methodologies to ensure your studies are not limited by technology or capability. With the ability to perform LFKI at any locus, the only limit to your studies is your ingenuity.
Humanization
Humanized models have been widely used in studies of human gene function, immuno-oncology therapeutics, infectious disease pathology, and preclinical drug evaluation in the field of biomedicine. Our TurboKnockout® technology enables more efficient and stable gene integration for the development of humanized mouse models, including our HUGO-GT™ Next-Generation Humanized Models.
Transgenics
With the capability to generate both traditional and PiggyBac-based transgenics, we can provide your research with cost-effective transgenic models with the ability to avoid gene silencing with single- copy-per-integration-site, and no loss of transgene sequence when using PiggyBac.
Multiple Donor Strains Available
● Mouse: C57BL/6, FVB, BALB/c
● Rat: Sprague-Dawley (SD), Wistar, F344, Long evans, Brown Norway
TurboKnockout®: Proprietary ES Cell-Mediated Method for Accelerated Mouse Model Generation

HUGO-GT™ Next-Generation Humanized Mouse Model for Preclinical Research

Our HUGO-GT™ Next-Generation Humanized Models employ our proprietary TurboKnockout-Pro technology to perform in-situ replacement of the targeted mouse endogenous gene, creating full-length genomic sequence humanized mouse models with a broader range of intervention targets. Cyagen's HUGO-GT™ model steps in to replace existing humanized models, catering to the needs of preclinical research and pharmaceutical companies.

  • Efficient Drug Screening: The humanized region of the HUGO-GT™ model mirrors the pathogenic genes in humans and encompasses most drug targets.
  • Gene Therapy Research Platform: Especially beneficial for gene therapy drugs requiring stringent gene sequence integrity, such as ASO, CRISPR, and siRNA.
  • Full-length Coverage of Pathogenic Genes: Large-scale genomic segment replacement allows for complete coverage of disease hotspot mutation regions, including exons, introns, and both UTR regions.
  • Tailored Customization: Custom site-specific targeting of large gene segments up to 350 Kb.
  • Rapid Disease Model Development: We can modify existing HUGO-GT™ wild-type (WT) humanized ES cells to develop mutation-specific models of disease.
Advantages of Our Custom Animal Model Services
Guaranteed Project Genotype
To mitigate the risks associated with custom model generation, Cyagen provides a unique genotype guarantee* - confirmed using standard PCR validation of the expected fragment size to match the original project strategy - to give you further peace of mind. *Does not guarantee biological outcome (i.e., transgene expression levels) and is limited by modifications that may negatively affect the health and viability.
Comprehensive Capabilities
Provides researchers with access to a comprehensive toolkit of technologies, including but not limited to: CRISPR/Cas9, transgenic technology, PiggyBac, and embryonic stem (ES) cell-based homologous recombination (HR).
Fast Project Scoping & Quotes
We will work with you to identify the optimal CAM project strategy to serve your research goals and suit your budget. All CAM projects are OLAW-assured and AAALAC-accredited.
Project Price Matching
Our team will price match custom animal model (CAM) project quotes from competitors and core facilities to help ensure researchers get the best deal for their study. With our Price Matching offer, we will provide a quote with the equivalent scope of work and an additional 5% discount. Bring your quote, we match it.
