We will design primers for PCR screening, however we will also work with investigators who want to design their own. Send us an email if this is the case. Subject to a Materials Transfer Agreement from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, investigators will receive seed of individuals carrying the desired insertion. Within 12 months of receipt, phenotypic information about those individuals and any progeny must be contributed to the MTM database for display on the MTM web site. Also at this time the sequence used for screening will become publicly accessible, as will your identity.
Investigators retain the rights to any invention arising from the transferred materials.
Corporate researchers should contact us. We are working to reduce our costs and will pass these on as we achieve higher efficiencies. We ask for your patience. Initial requests will be part of the optimization process. We are aiming to do 10 screenings per week but this number will be lower at the beginning.
