Donate a Mutant Strain to The Jackson Laboratory Repository

Strains are evaluated once a month by the Genetic Resource Committee. To ensure that your strain is evaluated at the next meeting, please submit your strain no later than the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Please enter information for no more than one strain at a time. The information you submit is used to evaluate your strain - please be as detailed as possible.

A confirmation email is sent to the email address provided upon our receipt of your submission. If you do not receive the confirmation email please contact Deborah Boswell.
