| Newly deposited mouse strains
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
These mice have been newly deposited to RIKEN BRC. They will be
available soon after rederivation. We appreciate depositors for their
contributions to the scientific community.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Newly available mouse strains
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
These mice just have been rederived into our barrier facility. These
mice are now available for distribution.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Mouse strains for freeze preservation
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since enough number of embryos has been preserved, live mice of these
strains will be closed soon. It will take more than 3 months to recover
live mice from frozen stock. Please let us know as soon as possible, if
you plan to use the mice and request them alive.
