+The ``strain`` of a :nwb-schema:ref:`sec-Subject` should be set to further indicate the subspecies or breed or common genetic modification. *E.g.*, common strains for species "Rattus norvegicus" might include "Long Evans", "Sprague-Dawley", "Wistar", or "C57BL/6". If no specific strain is used, then simply indicate "Wild Type".
