New mouse model alerts
The Research Affiliate members are provided with information on new mouse models, as they are received by The Jackson Laboratory's Induced Mutant Resource. Affiliates will learn when new mouse models have been accepted by the IMR, when they go into production, and when they are ready to order. Feedback from our Affiliates will be used to help us plan the size of the production colony, improve the availability of these models and, help us reduce the incidence of back orders.
