Craniofacial mouse models
Privacy: The repository will never disclose which, if any, independent investigator is conducting research on a mutant strain. Photographs of mutants will remain public indefinitely. In addition, Repository staff may conduct further research themselves on these strains. New data will be posted as it becomes available.
For more detail, please click on the mutation symbol or gene name.
Mutants are maintained either as live colonies or cryopreserved germplasm. When an investigator expresses interest in a particular live strain, 2 breeder pairs will be provided as soon as possible for the price of shipping. Cryopreserved strains are available for a fee from the JAX Cryopreservation Service.
Interested parties may contact faces@jax.org.
