Mouse Resource for Craniofacial Research

The Mouse Resource for Craniofacial Research is a comprehensive resource providing mouse models for facial, dental, eye, ear and skull development research, as well as mouse models of human craniofacial syndromes such as cleft palate.

The Mouse Resource for Craniofacial Research is a comprehensive resource providing mouse models for facial, dental, eye, ear and skull development research, as well as mouse models of human craniofacial syndromes such as cleft palate. The Resource is composed of new inducible Cre-driver lines we designed specifically to support craniofacial research; spontaneous mutation strains with craniofacial defect phenotypes that arose in JAX colonies; and mouse models developed in other labs and donated to the resource. We provide a repository for rederivation, cryopreservation, genetic quality control, and distribution of live colonies of new and existing mouse models and tool strains relevant to craniofacial research.

Researchers who would like to share their mouse models with the scientific community are encouraged to donate a strain to the repository.
