Transgenic mice are typically made as stable lines, which entails breeding founder
mice and evaluating the phenotype in the F1 or F2 generation. Alternatively, F0s may be
analyzed directly. Such a “transient” transgenic approach offers the advantage of relatively
quick results. A disadvantage is that the transgenic line is not maintained; therefore
further analysis of any phenotype will require more injections.
