Genetic Management Services
The primary mission of the Genetics Management Services is to provide genetics-related support and resources for colony management and banking of DNA and other samples for investigators. The lab also provides services on a recharge basis to all investigators internal and external to the CNPRC who are interested in incorporating genetic/genomic techniques into their research programs.
