Transgenic Mouse Facility - Genetically Altered Strains of Mice for Research, University of South Ca

main » Business Process Outsourcing » Biotech and Pharmaceutical » Animal Services

[ Visit Site ] The mission of the Transgenic Mouse Facility at the University of South Carolina is the production of genetically altered strains of mice (called transgenic) for use in biomedical and basic research. Recent years have witnessed dramatic advances in our ability to isolate and manipulate the genes controlling specific hereditary traits. Simultaneously, the technology has been developed to use these same genes to alter the basic hereditary make-up of living organisms. This is the essence of genetic engineering. With the establishment of the Transgenic Mouse Facility, such technology is now available to scientists at the University of South Carolina and throughout the state.

Services provided by the laboratory include the actual production of transgenic mice and the first generations of their breeding. The cost to the user will usually be less than $2500 per DNA construct, but will vary, depending upon the projects.
