The mutant mouse with Q31L in Disc1 gene (Disc1<Rgsc1393>) showed depressive-like behavior with defects and the other mutant mouse with L100P in Disc1 gene (Disc1<Rgsc1390>) exhibited schizophrenic-like behavior. http://www.brc.riken.jp/lab/animal/mailnews/nm200803_01.html Mouse of the Month archive http://www.brc.riken.jp/lab/animal/en/mouse_of_month_list.shtml +----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Revision of the distribution fees for the bioresources +----------------------------------------------------------------------- The RIKEN BRC has been providing bioresources not only to scientists in Japan but also to those in overseas with minimum fees solely to reimburse the RIKEN BRC for a part of the preparation and handling costs of the requested bioresources. Due to release of new bioresources and changes in circumstances, it has become necessary to revise the distribution fees. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. About the revision of the distribution fees http://www.brc.riken.jp/inf/en/news/20080222.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------- | The Gene-trap Mouse ES clones using UPATrap have been deposited. +----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Gene-trap Mouse ES cell clones using UPATrap method developed by Dr. Yasumasa Ishida (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) have been deposited. These cells can be used in the in vitro differentiation study. In addition, gene inactivated mouse line can be generated by using these cell clones. http://www2.brc.riken.jp/lab/mouse_es/index.html.en +----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Newly deposited mouse strains +----------------------------------------------------------------------- These mice have been newly deposited to RIKEN BRC. They will be available soon after rederivation. We appreciate depositors for their contributions to the scientific community. http://www.brc.riken.jp/lab/animal/mailnews/new0803e.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Newly available mouse strains +----------------------------------------------------------------------- These mice just have been rederived into our barrier facility. These mice are now available for distribution. http://www.brc.riken.jp/lab/animal/mailnews/opn0803e.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mouse strains for freeze preservation +----------------------------------------------------------------------- Since enough number of embryos has been preserved, live mice of these strains will be closed soon. It will take more than 3 months to recover live mice from frozen stock. Please let us know as soon as possible, if you plan to use the mice and request them alive. http://www.brc.riken.jp/lab/animal/mailnews/freeze0803e.html ________________________________________________________________________ *We hope you enjoyed receiving this message.
