Cage Type
There are six cage types in the census:
Type | Mice in Cage |
Mating | male and females together to generate progeny |
Breeding | female with pups |
Weaned | newly weaned mice that haven't been tagged and tailed |
Ungenotyped | newly weaned mice that have been tagged and tailed but haven’t been genotyped |
Stock | males or females with known genotype |
Plug | male and females sit together to generate progeny |
You can change the color of each cage type in menu Lab->Program Settings.
To set up a mating cage, simply move the male and females into a cage and change the cage type to "Mating".
