Mouse models

The house mouse (Mus Musculus) has been utilised as a mammalian research model to gain valuable insight into genetics for centuries. The human and mouse share many genetic and genomic features in terms of overall physiology, health and disease. Mice are cost effective to maintain because they are small, quick to reproduce and easy to look after. The combination of these attributes makes the mouse model a powerful tool to learn about ourselves.

Generating mouse models

Ozgene has a proven track record in generating mouse models for biomedical research and research supporting the study of gene function, human diseases, and the development of therapeutics. We use our published and patented goGermline™ technology in all of our mouse projects. goGermline enables the generation of mouse models with industry leading timelines while relying on the proven technique of gene targeting via homologous recombination. All of our mouse model projects have resulted in germline transmission to date.

What technology do we use?

We generate mouse models via gene targeting in ES cells using our proprietary goGermline™ technology, which vastly improves the 3R efficiencies and the timeline for development of gene targeted mouse models. We do not use CRISPR.

Customised mouse model generation

Ozgene offers customised mouse model generation where the pricing is determined by the complexity of the project, the materials provided by the customer and the desired deliverables.

We will provide an obligation free project design and proposal based on your specific requirements free of charge.
