International Mouse Mutagenesis Consortium (IMMC)
|
The IMMC goals are described in
Science 291:1251-1255, 2001 as:
- Produce at least one heritable mutation, in either ES cells or mice, in every gene in the genome.
- Identify every gene that affects key traits of biomedical interest.
- Establish an infrastructure for preserving and distributing mutant cells and mice.
- Enhance the informatics and database support for these functional studies.

|
International Complex Traits Consortium (CTC)
|
The CTC focuses on exploring the complex interplay between gene variants, disease, and the environment. See the The Complex Trait Consortium web site for current information.
