Mouse Mutant Stocks Center

9502221 Davisson该奖项更新了NSF对杰克逊实验室小鼠突变种群中心（MMSC）的支持，该实验室是国际知名的实验室小鼠遗传研究中心。 小鼠是研究哺乳动物遗传学和发育各个方面的主要实验系统。 MMSC有两项任务：1）维护和分发突变小鼠品系以及关于该品系的信息给科学界，以及2）发现和表征小鼠中的新的自发突变。 在小鼠中检测到约950种自发突变;其中，MMSC保存的贮备液代表了121种突变。 此外，在杰克逊实验室保存的遗传特征良好的小鼠的大繁殖群体是新的自发突变的特别方便和廉价的来源。 每年，NSF对该收集的支持使大量学术，非营利，政府和工业研究人员受益，他们要求已知或新检测到的突变。 ***

9502221 Davisson This award renews NSF support of the Mouse Mutant Stocks Center (MMSC) at The Jackson Laboratory, an internationally renowned center for genetic studies of the laboratory mouse. The mouse is the primary experimental system for study of a variety of aspects of mammalian genetics and development. The MMSC has two missions: 1) to maintain and distribute strains of mutant mice and information about the strains to the scientific community, and 2) discover and characterize new spontaneous mutations in the mouse. Approximately 950 spontaneous mutations have been detected in the mouse; of these, 121 mutations are represented by the stocks maintained by the MMSC. In addition, the large breeding colonies of genetically well-characterized mice maintained at The Jackson Laboratory are a particularly convenient and inexpensive source of new spontaneous mutations. Each year, the NSF support for this collection benefits a large number of academic, non-profit, government and industrial researchers who request with known or newly detected mutations. ***
