Overview
The Specialized Animal Resource (SAR) Module provides assistance and training in the maintenance of animal colonies with special needs. The primary focus is genetically altered mice (gene knockout or transfer) that require a clean environment, may be difficult to breed, and involve genotyping of offspring. The module manager is available for assistance and training in experimental procedures involving most animal models. The services of the SAR Module will vary with each application, with details arranged with the Manager and approved by the Director. The SAR Module Manager oversees the daily operations of the SAR Module facility in addition to providing technical guidance and training.
