This month seeks to promote health and awareness of birth defects. At the MMRRC, we understand that data sharing is essential to speed translation of research results into knowledge, therapies, and procedures to improve human health. The MMRRC is committed to sharing data and offers several strains and models to advance research in structural birth defects and foster discovery of shared genetic pathways between disorders.

Popular research models available in the MMRRC include:
- down syndrome
- neural tube defects
- chromosome aberrations
- spinal bifida
- cystic fibrosis
- cleft palate
- fragile X

About MMRRC
Welcome to the Mutant Mouse Resource & Research Centers (MMRRC) Website
The MMRRC is the nation’s premier national public repository system for mutant mice. Funded by the NIH continuously since 1999, the MMRRC archives and distributes scientifically valuable spontaneous and induced mutant mouse strains and ES cell lines for use by the biomedical research community. The MMRRC consists of a national network of breeding and distribution repositories and an Informatics Coordination and Service Center located at 4 major academic centers across the nation. The MMRRC is committed to upholding the highest standards of experimental design and quality control to optimize the reproducibility of research studies using mutant mice. The MMRRC is supported by the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) in the Office of the Director at NIH. More than 50,000 mutant alleles are maintained as live mice, cryopreserved germplasm, and/or mutant ES cells. Live mice are supplied from a production colony, from a colony recovered from cryopreservation, or via micro-injection of ES cells. An MMRRC facility may offer cryopreserved material for resuscitation at the recipient scientist's institution.
