|  "IMPORTANT" Request to Users
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please use the following sentence to expressly describe the RIKEN BRC
as the source of the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE in 'Materials and Methods' of
your publication.

Example : "the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE (the resource name) was provided by
the RIKEN BRC through the National Bio-Resource Project of the MEXT,
Japan"

  The RIKEN BRC is a non-profit institution funded by the Japanese
Government.
We are engaged in collecting, maintaining, multiplying, storing and
distributing bioresources, in order to support research and development
in the field of life sciences.The RIKEN BRC has been providing
bioresources not only to scientists in Japan but also to those in
overseas. To be able to continue our service to the international
scientific community, the RIKEN BRC needs to demonstrate publicly our
contribution to the scientific community by disclosing our user's
research publications.

  According to Article 5 of the MTA we would like to request a reprint
of any published research paper that involved the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE
supplied by RIKEN BRC.

  Special exhibition booth "National BioResource Project (NBRP)" was
displayed at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society
held at Pacifico Yokohama between December 13 and December 16, 2011.
Many attendees visited our mouse booth and had a useful exchange of
views. Thank you for coming our booth!!
