The International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) developed high throughput gene trapping and gene targeting pipelines that produced mostly conditional mutations of more than 18,500 genes in C57BL/6N mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells which have been archived and are freely available to the research community as a frozen resource. From this unprecedented resource more than 6,000 mutant mouse strains have been produced by the IKMC and mostly the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC). In addition, a cre-driver resource was established including 250 inducible cre-driver mouse strains in a C57BL/6 background. Complementing the cre-driver resource, a collection of comprising 27 cre-driver rAAVs has also been produced. The resources can be easily accessed at the IKMC/IMPC web portal (www.mousephenotype.org). The IKMC/IMPC resource is a standardized reference library of mouse models with defined genetic backgrounds that enables the analysis of gene-disease associations in mice of different genetic makeup and should therefore have a major impact on biomedical research.
