What is the CMMR? The Canadian Mouse Mutant Repository, CMMR, is a facility dedicated to the preservation and distribution of mutant mouse lines, samples, and ES cells (see CMMR-NorCOMM FAQs).
What is FIMRe? The Federation of International Mouse Repositories (FIMRe) is a collaborating group of Mouse Repository and Resource Centres worldwide whose collective goal is to archive and provide strains of mice as cryopreserved embryos and gametes, ES cell lines, and live breeding stock to the research community. The CMMR is an active member of FIMRe. What can I deposit to the CMMR? Mice: Investigators can deposit mutant mouse lines in the form of embryos, gametes, or ES cell lines. Cryobiology specialists at the CMMR receive, process, cryopreserve, and archive the mutants and samples. Services rendered and service fees depend on the type and number of samples cryopreserved. An investigator may also deposit previously frozen mouse embryos, gametes or ES cell lines and pay applicable processing and storage fees. The CMMR can also perform mutant mouse strain expansion and/or recovery for experimental purposes.
