Mouse colony management software
Lineage gives PIs, lab managers, and research operations teams one place for cages, animals, breeding, genotyping, daily work, and compliance context.

Platform Features
A focused set of workflows for the work happening in Lineage today—built to make the next right action obvious without losing the record behind it.
Work from cage-first colony records with animal details, genotype, diet, protocol context, notes, and history together. Search gets you to the record that needs attention.
See evidence-backed findings for endpoints, genotype follow-up, protocol timing, and breeding checks—then decide what should become work for the team.
Track breeding pairs, litter records, birth dates, weaning timelines, and lineage. Keep the details that shape the next colony decision close to the pair.
Move samples through pending, sent, and confirmed states; enter results in bulk; and bring confirmed genotypes back into the colony record.
Use cage utilization, breeding-plan alignment, and timing signals to surface planning questions before they become urgent work.
Create, assign, complete, and comment on daily tasks in one queue. Each task remains linked to the cage or animal it concerns, with its work history intact.
Getting Started
Lineage is designed to replace the scattered spreadsheet-and-memory workflow with a practical shared system, without asking your team to change everything at once.
Start with the animals, cages, lines, and protocol details your team already maintains. The colony becomes a navigable working record.
Use breeding, genotyping, tasks, and review findings where the work happens, so the next action and its context stay together.
Activity history, record notes, and completed work preserve the why behind changes—not just the final state.
