Phenotyping platform of JMC

Phenotyping platform

  In Japan Mouse Clinic, we have developed the two pipelines which are constructed with comprehensive test items.

Pipeline 1

  Comprehensive test items examining metabolic, blood/hematic, osseous/skeletal, cancer, cardiovascular, sensory, skin/fur, and neural/behavioral characteristics, construct pipeline 1.
