About the White Paper:
Genetically engineered mouse models are powerful research tools for translational research and drug development. With the advent of new gene-modifying technologies, the number of GEMs continues to grow rapidly.
Genetic research programs will continue to require the appropriate GEM, but maintaining live colonies for each model can be impractical and cost-prohibitive. For this reason, access to frozen genetic repositories has become an important component of today’s advanced research programs.
The need for quick access to the ideal model can lead an investigator to different repositories. However, it remains critical to consider the quality and depth of services needed for not only the rapid recovery of the line but also the subsequent expansion and maintenance.
