Grant Description

The Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell (MLC) is the UK’s national facility for mouse genetics and the use of mouse models for the study of human disease.

The specialised services available for UK researchers include the generation and study of genetically altered mice, and the National Mouse Archive, which allows scientists to deposit mouse strains free of charge for archiving and distribution purposes.

The MLC is also the central hub of the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network which brings together experts from around the UK to collaborate and share resources.
