Center Core

Animal Core

Center	University of California Davis
Description	The Animal Core provides extensive scientific support services, including importation/exportation, colony management, customized mouse models, rederivation and creation of genetically-modified mutant mice (e.g. CRISPR), and re-animation of a variety of models (e.g., KOMP) cryopreserved and available from the Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center (MMRRC) Consortium. The Core can also produce male and female cohorts of mice for in vivo phenotyping under a variety of vivarium environments, including Specific Pathogen Free (SPF), Gnotobiotic, and ABSL3 conditions. The Core operates a Microsurgery Suite, with two expert microsurgeons, for development of surgically-manipulated mouse models, such as bariatric surgical models, e.g. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) and Roux en Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), as well as cannulation telemetry and osmotic pump implants, in addition to providing microsurgery training services for investigators and clinicians. In addition to testing, manipulation, and sampling, investigator can have these surgically-manipulated models as well as any genetically-engineered mouse lines shipped from our approved vendor barrier vivarium directly into the recipient institution’s vivarium. The Core provides ancillary services and procedures, including gut microbiome studies, blood and tissue sampling, glucose and insulin tolerance tests, and more. The Core also provides anatomic and clinical pathology services, including gross necropsy with histology, clinical chemistry, and hematology. Testing can be customized to include specific organ histologic examination, grading and photo documentation. The Core is led by Kristin Grimsrud DVM, PhD, who oversees the mouse management technicians. Denise M. Imai-Leonard, DVM, PhD, DACVP, and Director of the UC Davis Comparative Pathology Laboratory, provides Core users with comprehensive pathology services.

The Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC-Live) is an NIDDK funded consortium and adheres to the NIH Data Sharing Policy.

MMPC-Live clients make their data freely available whereby MMPC-Live users may freely build upon, enhance and reuse those data for any purpose without restriction. Scholarly citation norms must be followed for content reuse. Please acknowledge the MMPC-Live using the following text: 'The MMPC-Live data used in this manuscript was supported by the NIDDK National Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC-Live, RRID:SCR_008997, www.mmpc.org)'. To cite specific MMPC-Live centers, please use the appropriate RRID available from the MMPC-Live website (https://www.mmpc.org/shared/centers.aspx).

Please note that the acknowledgment text includes a Research Resource Identifier (RRID) for the MMPC-Live CU and Centers. Reproducibility is one of the corner stones of effective, open and transparent biomedical published research. However, too often, resources (e.g. model organisms, antibodies, and tools) are not reported with adequate detail to ensure others can replicate or expand upon the published results. The Research Resource Identification Initiative (#RII) seeks to change these limitations in reporting by the use of unique Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs). This initiative is designed to encourage authors to provide identification of the types of resources used in their research by adding a globally unique accession number to the resources described in the their manuscripts. These identifiers, called RRIDs, will allow authors to cite the resources that they use in their manuscripts. RRIDs allow for easy tracking of all papers that have used the same resource making it easy to access how the same resources works in other scenarios.

It is expected that MMPC-Live users follow scholarly citation norms, giving credit to fellow scholars when accessing/using protocols and data, including data derived by MMPC-Live (such as summary data) and any plots, tables or screenshots depicting those data.

It is possible for invalid or incomplete results to be presented on the MMPC-Live web site due to software bugs, data problems, or artifacts of human error. Data sets are not necessarily static; we reserve the right to post corrections and updates as needed.

Prohibited use. Data contributors and data users may not use MMPC-Live in any unlawful manner, or in any manner that could impair MMPC-Live services, security or functionality. Automated usage (webcrawlers and similar) must observe each page's "meta robots" html tags and space requests by ≥ 2 seconds. We reserve the right to block any IP associated with what we consider to be excessive or abusive usage patterns, and/or to take any action we deem necessary.

MMPC-Live is a National Institutes of Health-sponsored resource that provides experimental testing services to scientists studying diabetes, obesity, diabetic complications, and other metabolic diseases in mice.
