<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Xenopus Community<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The Xenopus Mutant Resource grant was funded this past summer and it provides unique opportunities for all of you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If you would like a mutant made please email me and we will put it in the pipeline. Although we have already made over 117 mutants that are now growing we continue to look for new
mutants to be made. My research assistants will work closely with you to generate the mutant as you like.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The XMR grant also provides free housing for anyone coming to work in the NXR. You can send people here for various time periods and they get access to all NXR animals, and can create
new mutants during their time here. At the moment the cottage is not being used and we are able to host people.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you would like a mutant made please contact me. And if you want to come to the MBL this winter we are able to host you. We have ample space and follow appropriate MA guidelines. Should you wish to come please contact me and I can provide
more details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to hearing from you<o:p></o:p></p>
