T
he KOMP Repository is the official archive and distribution center for the Knockout
Mouse Project (KOMP), a major 5-year trans-NIH initiative designed to generate null
alleles in C57BL/6 embryonic stem (ES) cells for most genes not already available as
knockout mice.
Nearly 8500 genes are targeted for deletion, most in a conditional-ready format, by
mutagenesis teams at "CSD" (Childrens Hospital of Oakland Research Institute,
The Sanger Institute, and UC Davis) and at Regeneron, Inc.
Here at the KOMP Repository at UC Davis and CHORI, you can obtain
targeting vectors, ES cells, mice, and germplasm, as well as microinjection, genotyping,
cryopreservation, breeding, and other services quickly and at reasonable cost to help you
with your research project.
