Key Services:

  • Comprehensive and up-to-date access to available ES cell mutations on the EScells.ca website (http://www.EScells.ca)
  • "Hot List" service
    • CGDN members can submit their requests by email directly to Geoff Hicks ([email protected]). Requests will automatically be queried against each new database update.
  • ES cell lines
    • service charge to defray the cost of expanding the clone, verifying the mutation and shipping.
  • Generation of knockout mice to obtain specific ES cell mutations
    • initial ES cell characterization services (eg confirm gene-specific mutation, confirm preliminary "competency" tests of ES cells prior to injection, and help derive mutation specific probes and assays).
    • blastocyst injections or germline transmission of the ES cell mutations, pronuclear injection and/or homologous recombination and tetraploid aggregations.
  • On site training of members from other CGDN laboratories.
