Laboratory Animal Genetic Monitoring Resource
The Genetic Monitoring Facility functions to protect the genetic integrity of the inbred strains and transgenic lines of rodents utilized in the various research programs at Fox Chase. Rodents used in today's biomedical research must not only be free of disease that may influence experimental results, but also be well-defined in terms of their genetic makeup. This is especially true with the increasing use of transgenic mice in most areas of biomedical research. (NCI Thesaurus)
