MMRRC Functions and Services

TThe MMRRC Centers have three basic functions:

  • Maintain, archive, and distribute biomedically valuable mouse strains, ES cell lines, and hybridomas
  • PRespond to requests from researchers for distribution of mice, ES cell lines, and hybridomas.
  • Conduct resource-related research to further enhance MMRRC operations and services relevant to mutant mice used in biomedical research.

Each of the MMRRC's Centers also provides the following services:

  • Perform microbiologic and genetic quality control of mice bred, maintained and distributed.
  • Provide contract services for resource preservation and distribution.
  • Offer additional related services as specifically provided by individual facilities (please use the table above to view these center-specific services).

As members of the Federation of International Mouse Resources (FIMRe), the MMRRC members will work with other member repositories to facilitate international distribution of mouse resources. See Requesting MMRRC Strains and Cell Lines for additional information.
