Revised Resource Manuals Available
JAX® NOTES Issue 504, Winter 2006
The Jackson Laboratory is pleased to announce that revised editions of the Cancer Resources Manual and the Genetic Background (formerly Genetic Resources) Resource Manual are now available.
The Cancer Resources Manual showcases over 30 JAX® Mice cancer models, describes publicly accessible databases such as the Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) database, lists courses and conferences related to cancer research, and briefly summarizes the cancer research conducted by Jackson Laboratory scientists.
The Genetic Background Resources Manual explains the importance of using genetically well-defined mice for biomedical research, describes The Jackson Laboratory's resources for helping researchers choose those mice, encourages researchers to clearly communicate the genetic make-up of their models by using proper nomenclature, and summarizes The Jackson Laboratory's programs to ensure that JAX® Mice are genetically well-defined.
These and other Jackson Laboratory Resource Manuals are available in printed and electronic formats. To request them, simply fill out the literature request form.
