National Rodent Laboratory Animal Resource Bank

Based on the needs of national scientific and technological innovation for laboratory animal resources, we use various methods such as foreign introduction, domestic collection, independent research and development, and protocol conservation to collect, integrate, and optimize laboratory animal resources. The resource library now preserves more than 200 varieties and strains in four categories, including mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, including routine laboratory animals, genetically modified animal models, and animal models for disease. The predecessor of the resource bank was the National Rodent Laboratory Animal Seed Center (Guoke Cai Zi [1998] No. 010), established in 1998 and based on the Laboratory Animal Resources Research Institute of the Chinese National Academy of Food and Drug Administration.

鉴于国家科技创新对实验动物资源的迫切需求，本资源库采用包括国外引进、国内采集、自主研究和协议保存等多种手段，对实验动物资源进行收集、整合与优化。目前，资源库已保存四个类别，超过200种和品系，涵盖小鼠、大鼠、豚鼠和兔等常规实验动物、基因改造动物模型以及疾病动物模型。该资源库的前身为国家啮齿类实验动物种子中心（国科才字[1998]第010号），成立于1998年，并基于中国食品药品监督管理局实验室动物资源研究所而建立。
