The Animal Models Core, formerly known as the Transgenic Animal Facility was established in 1988 and has a long history of providing UW Madison researchers access to the latest technology for generating novel transgenic and gene edited animals (mice, rats and swine) at a reasonable cost. They have been nationally recognized for their work in manipulating rat embryos and have been very successful incorporating the latest CRISPR/Cas9 technology into their program. They also provide support for cryopreservation, rederivation, and IVF recovery of rodent animal models. A full suite of services is available but not limited to:
- Generation of mouse, rat or swine CRISPR/Cas9 models
- Cryopreservation of mouse and rat embryos and sperm
- Rederivation of rodent animal models from off-campus sources
- Global importation of rodent models from international repositories
- Generation of transgenic and ES cell targeted models
- Reproductive assistance of rodent animals (breeding consultation, ovarian transplants, sperm analysis, fertility assessment)
The Animal Models Core accepts projects from all UW-Madison departments, the University of Wisconsin System, academic institutions in the US, and commercial/industry clients. Let us know how we can help you!
