Term info

definition

An inbred strain that contains a single entire chromosome from another strain. Consomic (or Chromosome Substitution Strains) are derived by backcrossing to a parental inbred strain for at least ten generations while selecting for retention of a specific whole chromosome from the donor strain. For example, C57BL/6J-Chr 4A/NaJ is a consomic strain in which the Chromosome 4 from the A/J strain has been placed on a C57BL/6J background.
