A. If we are planning to take a family off the shelf for cryopreservation, we will post an announcement on our website and we’ll also send an announcement to our mailing list. Please sign up for our mailing list if you want updates. After cryopreservation, the mutant mouse model will still be available, but instead of receiving live mice, you’ll receive frozen sperm which will then need reconstitution. If you do not have the resources to recover the frozen sperm, the service is available through the Jackson Laboratory’s Cryopreservation Resource. All costs associated with recovery are your responsibility.
