Origin – Imported from Taconic in 2005. Refreshed in 2010. This is an ABR substrain.- Common name/s – 129S6 or S6
- Colour – Light-bellied agouti
- Special characteristics – This strain was used extensively to establish ES cell lines for the production of targeted mutation mice. This strain was developed from the Steel subline.
