The Mouse Biology Program upholds the highest quality standards, ensuring that all mouse models and services are rigorously validated to support reliable, reproducible, and impactful research outcomes.
At the Mouse Biology Program (MBP), quality is at the core of everything we do. From genetic engineering and phenotyping to colony management and data analysis, our commitment to excellence ensures that each service and product meets the highest scientific and ethical standards. We focus on delivering reliable results, reproducibility, and compliance, enabling impactful and trustworthy research outcomes through the following methods:
Rigorous Protocols
Every procedure, from genetic modifications to phenotyping and animal care, is guided by standardized, validated protocols. These protocols minimize variability and ensure consistent outcomes across all projects.
Precise Genetic Modifications
We use cutting-edge genetic engineering technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and embryonic stem (ES) cell methods, to ensure accurate modifications. Each genetic alteration undergoes thorough validation to confirm that the intended changes have been made correctly and without unintended off-target effects.
Comprehensive Phenotyping
Our phenotyping services follow detailed protocols approved by UC Davis Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data. We use advanced techniques to assess a wide range of physiological, metabolic, and behavioral traits, delivering reproducible and scientifically robust results.
Consistent Animal Care
Mice are housed in pathogen-free environments, with routine health checks and veterinary oversight. Our colony management practices adhere to strict ethical guidelines, ensuring the well-being of the animals while maintaining high standards of biosecurity and genetic integrity.
Thorough Data Analysis
Data from phenotyping and other services undergo rigorous statistical analysis, ensuring accurate and meaningful results. We provide clear, detailed reports, including data interpretation, enabling researchers to make informed decisions based on reliable findings.
Compliance and Ethics
We are committed to maintaining compliance with all relevant ethical and regulatory guidelines, including NIH standards, USDA regulations, and UC Davis IACUC protocols. Our focus on ethical responsibility ensures that all procedures and outcomes meet the highest standards of research integrity.
Delivering Excellence at Every Stage
Our dedication to quality assurance ensures that every mouse model, service, and data set meets rigorous accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility standards. We believe that quality is not just a goal but a continuous commitment that drives impactful research and scientific discovery.
