title: Jackson Lab Receives New KOMP2 Grant.
abstract: The Jackson Laboratory has been awarded $28.3 million from the NIH to expand the Knockout Mouse Production and Phenotyping Project, which was launched in 2011. Since then, researchers there have made and extensively phenotyped 833 knockout mouse strains from embryonic stem cells. Now, they'll capitalize on CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate another 1,000 strains in the next 5 years.
