CB

The Laboratory Nematode strain CB, commonly referred to in scientific circles, is a specially cultured line within the Caenorhabditis elegans species. This particular breed is renowned for its utility in genetic and developmental biology research due to its distinct genetic profile, which differentiates it from standard wild-type strains. The CB line is painstakingly maintained to ensure genetic purity and consistency, making it an invaluable tool for controlled experiments and longitudinal studies. Researchers favor this strain for its predictable phenotypic traits, robust genetic markers, and the extensive genetic mapping that has been associated with it. Furthermore, the CB strain's documented mutations and unique genetic modifications provide insight into various biological processes, rendering it indispensable for studies on gene function, neural development, and disease modeling. Its role in foundational research contributes significantly to advances in understanding genetic and cellular mechanisms, making the CB strain a cornerstone in many genetic research laboratories worldwide.
