A new set of guidelines titled “Improving Laboratory Animal Genetic Reporting: LAG-R Guidelines” has been published in Nature Communications. The LAG-R framework, an international initiative endorsed by leading experts, societies, and research consortia, provides comprehensive recommendations for documenting the genetic makeup of laboratory animals used in research.
This framework aims to bolster animal research’s reproducibility, reliability, and overall scientific integrity by accurately reporting genetic factors. These guidelines are expected to enhance experimental research quality significantly across various species.
