Cornell Core Transgenic Mouse Facility is one of the members of Cornell University Life Sciences Core Laboratories Center (CLC). Our goal is to facilitate the production and study of gain-of-function and loss-of-function transgenic mice to the university community and to outside investigators. Cornell Core Transgenic Mouse Facility offers centralized services for nuclear injection of DNA into fertilized oocytes, ES cell injections into blastocysts and mouse embryo cryopreservation. The Core Transgenic and Barrier Facilities are overseen by a committee consisting of campus investigators, veterinarians, and animal care personnel. Dr. Ke-Yu Deng serves as Director of Transgenic Services.

Cornell Core Mouse Transgenic Facility occupies approximately 800 sq. ft, and contains an isolated SPF mouse colony room, a microinjection room and a cryopreservation laboratory, is located in the basement of the Veterinary Medical Center. The Transgenic Facility operates as a fee-for service facility.
