<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> A reminder that you should consider sending your students/postdocs/technicians to the NXR to work on any transgenic or mutant animal available. Housing is free and
is provided as a cottage with 2 bedrooms (4 beds). Further, staff at the NXR will work closely with you during your time here. The cottage is available this Fall, winter, and spring. I am currently writing the renewal for the R24 grant (Xenopus Mutant Resource)
that covers the cottage and all the work we are doing on making mutants. If renewed, then the cottage will be available again for another 4 years. You can come to make new mutants and do the experiments you need. We do have the equipment for single cell preparations
as well. Please do take advantage of this opportunity as I know those who have come have been able to get a tremendous amount of work done.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Further, if you want a new mutant made simply email me and I will put it in the pipeline. Those of you who were at the conference met some of my RAs and these are the
same that would work with you. This is all about the community and ensuring that other researchers can see the power of genetics in Xenopus. We all look forward to assisting you in your research to help you get the results you need. That is why the NXR exists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
