Jun 3, 2011 - Mouse Molecular Genetics ( 20-23 September 2011 )
For the past 24 years, the Mouse Molecular Genetics meeting has been a leading forum for researchers who apply the methods of genetics and genomics to fundamental problems in mammalian biology, including from stem cell biology, early development, and models of human disease. In particular, the meeting showcases the latest technical developments in genetics and engineering of the mouse genome, and this year will feature a session devoted to imaging. The Mouse Molecular Genetics meeting assembles leaders in the field to present unpublished research findings, encourages junior investigators to participate in oral and poster presentations, and provides a stimulating environment for the exchange of ideas and information.

March 24, 2011 - The NIH Common Fund (http://commonfund.nih.gov) was enacted into law by Congress through the 2006 NIH Reform Act to support cross-cutting, trans-NIH programs that require participation by at least two NIH Institutes or Centers (ICs) or would otherwise benefit from strategic planning and coordination. The NIH Common fund provides support to the KOMP2 Phenotyping Program, which will provide new tools and methods, a comprehensive mutant mosue databse and library, and conduct broad, standardized, and high-throughput analysis of mutant mouse models produced by the International Knockout Mouse Consortium.
