EMMA -- European Mouse Mutant Archive

URL:

http://www.emmanet.org/

What you can do:

A non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant strains essential for basic biomedical research.

Highlights:

EMMA offers the worldwide scientific community a free archiving service for its mutant mouse lines and access to a wide range of disease models and other research tools.
EMMA is currently comprised of seven partners who operate as the primary mouse repository in Europe.
EMMA' s primary objectives are to establish and manage a unified repository for maintaining mouse mutations and to make them available to the scientific community.
In addition to these core services, the consortium can generate germ-free (axenic) mice for its customers and also hosts courses in cryopreservation.
EMMA is a founder member of the Federation of International Mouse Resources (FIMRe).
The EMMA network is funded by the participating institutes, national research programmes and the European Commission Research Infrastructures Programme.
EMMA is one of four repositories involved in the IKMC, and therefore the current figure of 1700 archived lines will rise markedly.
The EMMA database gathers and curates extensive data on each line and presents it through a user-friendly website.
A BioMart interface allows advanced searching including integrated querying with other resources e.g. Ensembl.
