LAS Seminar 3

Abstract

New mouse users are increasing with the spread of genome editing. This seminar is aiming to introduce how to use fully domestic and overseas mouse resource organizations and related infrastructures where various mouse strains so far developed have been preserved. The speaker will explain paper works to obtain mice from major mouse resource organizations and quality issues to be considered when receiving the mice. The introductory talk will encompass the one-stop shop database that can list all strains stored in major resource organizations around the world (International Mouse Strain Resource: IMSR), and the international mouse phenotyping consortium (IMPC) that is establishing knockout mouse strains of all protein-coding genes and the phenotype information. The author is expecting to share with participants the knowledge of useful research infrastructures available for full use of mouse resources, including breeder companies which provide standard strains and technical services.
