To get started please fill out the Service Request Form and submit the signed form either by email to GMFmail@fas.harvard.edu or send a fax to (617) 384-5008.
Terms of Service:
- Microinjection of approximately 200 embryos with transgene DNA, transfer of embryos into surrogate recipient animals, weaning offspring, and transferring transgenic offspring to investigator colony.
- We strive to provide at least 3 transgenic founder animals. If this number cannot be generated during the standard service, we will provide a repeat injection with fee.
- Investigators are requested to provide details of the purified transgene by submitting the sample sheet together with the DNA.
- Investigators who do not have prior experience with transgene purifications may make a request for the GMF to provide that service. Investigators with experience are encouraged to use our standard DNA purification protocol.
Disclaimer:
The GMF does not make any guarantees for specific numbers of founders, but the success rate over the past years has exceeded 98% for some 450 projects, and the transgenic frequency has routinely been above 15%.
Non-Harvard Academic & Non-Profit users pay 15% more than Harvard users. Service fees for Industry & For-Profit users are given upon request.
The GMF further reserves the rights to change the fee schedule without special notice to adjust for special financial circumstances.
