zInactive - Systems Genetic Core Facility

Overview of Services

The core provides Collabortive Cross mice and genotypes to investigators both at UNC Chapel Hill and at other institutions.

The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a large panel of recently established recombinant inbred (RI) mouse lines specifically designed to overcome the limitations of existing genetic resources and to act as an optimal murine model of heterogeneous human populations.

The goal of the program is to conduct research that (i) in determining the funtion of many of the genes identified by the human genome program, (ii) in providing mouse models for genetic diseases, and (iii) makes populations of mice that mimic the human population for elucidation of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs).
