The Division of Intramural Research
 |
NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research plans and conducts a broad program of laboratory and clinical research to translate genomic and genetic research into a greater understanding of human genetic disease, and to develop better methods for the detection, prevention and treatment of heritable and genetic disorders. |
News and Events

NHGRI researchers Dawn Watkins-Chow, Ph.D., and William J. Pavan, Ph.D report in the January 2008 issue of Genome Research the discovery of variation within a single substrain of C57BL/6 laboratory mice. The NHGRI Genetic Disease Research Branch Mouse Embryology Section researchers identified a region of the genome that varies within the single strain even though the strain has been inbred for many generations to produce large numbers of nearly identical mice for research. They report that for the region we identified, the structural variation in the genome alters gene expression.

Genome Research Cover Art: A C57BL/6J mouse exploring its own reflection while underlying data highlights a region of copy number variation (turquoise), is representative of new evidence that individual inbred mice, which appear identical, harbor subtle differences in genomic copy number that could significantly influence gene expression and phenotype.
