Maintenance of Escherichia coli K-12 Genetic Stock Culture Collection

要求继续支持大肠杆菌遗传库存中心的运作。该中心收集了大肠杆菌菌株K-12的7500多种突变衍生物，并在过去五年中分发了大约17500种经过认证的基因纯培养物。受资助的研究人员和教师在微生物遗传学、分子生物学、重组DNA技术、基因组测序、生物物理学、医学研究和药理学等不同领域工作。用户可以在学术界、非营利研究机构、政府和工业实验室中找到。该中心还提供大肠杆菌突变衍生物基因型和大肠杆菌基因功能和遗传图谱的信息资源。它继续协调基因符号的分配，并鼓励遵守公认的遗传命名法。该中心的网站免费提供了大量信息

Continued support is requested for operation of the Escherichia coli Genetic Stock Center. The Center maintains a collection of over 7,500 mutant derivatives of E. coli strain K-12, and has distributed approximately 17,500 certified genetically pure cultures over the last five years. Recipient investigators and teachers work in such diverse fields as microbial genetics, molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology, genome sequencing, biophysics, medical research and pharmacology. Users are found in academia, non-profit research institutes, and government and industrial laboratories. The Center also serves as an information resource on genotypes of mutant derivatives of E. coli and on function and genetic mapping of E. coli genes. It continues to coordinate assignment of gene symbols and to encourage adherence to the accepted genetic nomenclature. Extensive information is made freely available on the Center's Web site
