Mouse Mutant Stocks Center

位于缅因州巴尔港（Bar Harbor）的杰克逊实验室（Jackson Laboratory）的小鼠突变体储备中心（Mouse Mutant Stocks Center）具有两项重要功能：(1)研究小鼠的新突变体；(2)维护和向科学界分发小鼠突变体及其遗传信息。对生物医学研究具有潜在价值的突变体在具有恒定遗传背景的群体中维持，必要时通过特殊遗传技术维持。具有控制或繁殖对突变携带者的突变体应要求分发给世界各地的科学家。该中心还收集有关小鼠基因的信息，并为其他科学家提供小鼠的综合连锁图谱，包含有关它们的信息的基因计算机列表，以及计算机化的多态位点按株矩阵。该奖项为小鼠突变体库存中心的维护和分配功能提供部分补贴。

The world-renowned Mouse Mutant Stocks Center at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, has two important functions: (1) research on new mutants of the mouse; and (2) maintenance and distribution of mouse mutants and genetic information about them to the scientific community. Mutants that have potential value for biomedical research are maintained in the colony with constant genetic backgrounds and, when necessary, by special genetic techniques. Mutants with controls or breeding pairs of mutation carriers are distributed to scientists world wide upon request. The Center also assembles information on mouse genes and provides other scientists with comprehensive linkage maps of the mouse, a computer list of genes with information about them, and a computerized strain-by-locus matrix of polymorphic loci. This award provides a partial subsidy for the maintenance and distribution functions of the Mouse Mutants Stock Center.
