Description: THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility of the Jackson Laboratory (NMF) was established to produce new neurological mouse models that could serve as experimental models for the exploration of basic neurobiological mechanisms and diseases. The protocols are available. The impetus for the program resulted from the recognition that * the value of genomic data would remain limited unless more information about the functionality of its individual components became available, and * the task of linking genes to specific behavior would best be accomplished by employing a combination of different approaches. In an effort to complement already existing programs, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility decided to use: a random, genome-wide approach to mutagenesis, i.e. N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) as the mutagen; a three-generation back-cross breeding scheme to focus on the detection of recessive mutations; behavioral screens selective for the detection of phenotypes deemed useful for the program goals. Protocols: * Genetics ** Production of Mice for a Genome-Wide ENU Mutagenesis Screen ** Production of Mice using Chemical Mutagenesis of Mouse ES Cells * Protocols ** Step by step procedures-- Mouse mutagenesis with ENU ** Step by step procedures-- ES Cell mutagenesis with EMS * Phenotyping: Overview * Protocols:(currently only screens marked * are in use) ** Acoustic startle response (ASR) ** Auditory brainstem response (ABR) ** CLAMSTM(former CCMS) ** Creatine kinase ** Developmental Screen * ** Eye and Vision * ** Gait Analysis ** Gustation ** Observation * ** Seizure threshold * ** Additional Background Information
