How effective is the Transgenic Core?
What about consultation? We provide advice on all aspects of this technology from experimental design to mouse breeding. We can provide protocols and training for every step in the process of generating transgenic or gene targeted mice. We are ready to interact, our doors are open, please contact us with any questions by going to the navigation menu on the left side of the home page and selecting “Contact Us”. What kind of paperwork is involved? Any project that uses mice must be approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and obtain space within the LAR for housing founder animals. In addition, an account number for billing and details about the DNA sample should be submitted prior to any work being done. What is a transgenic mouse? A transgenic mouse has a transgene in addition to its normal complement of genes. A transgene is an artificial gene cloned in the lab by recombinant DNA technology and microinjected into fertilized mouse or rat eggs. Eggs are transf
