- Title
New Mouse Genomics Consortium.
- Authors
Dooley, Erin E.
- Abstract
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences announced on May 3, 2001 that five research centers comprising the Comparative Mouse Genomics Centers Consortium have been selected to develop mouse lines with genetic variations that may be key to understanding the effects of environmental stressors on the body. The mice, protocols, assays, assessment criteria, and data generated through projects using them will be made available to scientists around the world to help determine how such gene variations make some individuals more sensitive or resistant to environmental exposures. Pooling the established resources of this diverse group of scientists will ease the transfer of emerging materials, data, and technology and is intended to encourage discoveries that will help scientists better understand the complex interaction between the environment and human health.
