Are there any other independently derived sources of the NIH outbred stock? The larger the number of families....the more of the original gene pool can be recreated (or alternatively the fewer alleles lost). Some time ago there was some discussion of other colonies on RGD. Are these colonies still being maintained? David "I'm David Blizard and I approved this message!" Mailing address: David A.
