THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on December 6,2022. Core facility that provides the following services: Mouse breeding service, Behavioral testing procedures service, Mouse breeding. Three of the MARC''s research components (5, 6, and 8) include experiments with lines of mice bred to have special genetic traits. The animal core supports these components by purchasing, testing, breeding, maintaining, and distributing these animals within the center. The core will breed special mouse lines F1 and F2 that are descendents of C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) inbred strains. For Components 5 and 6, the animal core will also produce independent sets of replicated mouse lines selected for high and low tendencies toward methamphetamine drinking and for high and low methamphetamine-induced sensitization. In addition, the core is developing new behavioral-testing procedures and maintaining a database that will track individual animals and post their trait data for all MARC investigators to utilize.

The Penn Gene Targeting Service (PGT) is run by the Penn Gene Targeting Core and Laboratory in collaboration with two other Penn Cores (DNA Sequencing Facility and the Transgenic and Chimeric Mouse Facility) and has the capability to generate from scratch almost any type of genetically modified mouse. This includes complete knockout of any gene, tissue-specific and/or drug-inducible knockout of any gene, targeted mutagenesis of any region of any gene (knockin), tissue-specific activation of an endogenous gene using loxP flanked stop cassettes, and tissue-specific and/or drug-inducible transgene expression from defined loci. For details regarding services and prices please consult the PGT home page of the Department of Genetics and/or directly contact Dr. Tobias Raabe. The Client lab does not need to be involved in any experimental step and only needs to breed the resulting mice. However, if desired, participation of the client lab in almost any experimental step is possible. PGT has an outstanding record of germ line transmission and so far over 32 targeted mice - more than 12 in the desirable C57BL6 background - have been made, starting either with molecular design and construction of the targeting vector or with electroporation of an existing targeting vector into ES cells.

Core facility that provides the following services: 3D Imaging, Normative data comparison, Scan review. The High Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) Core Facility offers measurements of the microscopic internal structure of cortical and trabecular bone in the distal radius and tibia. Additionally, the HR-pQCT Core Facility offers Finite Element Analysis to estimate key biomechanical properties of the bone including failure load and stiffness. By scanning the distal radius and tibia, the HR-pQCT Core can measure a variety of important parameters reflecting the integrity or cortical and trabecular bone. This information cannot be determined using standard clinical imaging techniques such as dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A scanning appointment is a 30 minute addition to a clinical research visit and involves less radiation exposure than traditional bone densitometry. With applications for both cross-sectional and longitudinal research, investigators have employed our facilities and expertise to study a variety of bone-related diseases with participants ranging in age from children to the elderly. The goal of the HR-pQCT Core is to provide facilities and personnel on a per study basis, allowing investigators access to important information about bone structure and function without requiring special expertise and equipment. Getting Started: To begin organizing a cohort for HR-pQCT studies or to inquire further, please contact the Core Director, Dr. Joel Finkelstein.
