Division 8 Creation of a new genetically altered line

Animals used for the creation of a new genetically altered line/strain identifies animals which are used for the creation of a new genetically altered line/strain, separating from other animals used for the purposes of ‘basic research’ or ‘translational and applied research’. This includes the crossing of different lines to create a new genetically altered line where the phenotype of the new line cannot be determined prospectively as non-harmful.
