Genetics: Mice on ice . . .
Biologists studying human diseases or looking for answers to genetics
questions can turn to DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory for frozen sperm
or embryos of more than 250 experimentally induced mouse mutations. By
freezing sperm and/or embryos, the lab hopes to become a major archiving
and distribution center for mutations with characteristics of interest to
researchers studying functional genomics and to wider biological
communities. In the last three months, researchers have frozen 6,000
embryos and sperm from 39 mutant stocks as they move closer to their goal
of 500.         [Ron Walli, 576-0226, wallira@ornl.gov]
