European Mouse Mutant Archive

The European Mouse Mutant Archive – EMMA is a non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant mouse strains essential for basic biomedical research. The laboratory mouse is the most important mammalian model for studying genetic and multi-factorial diseases in man. The comprehensive physical and data resources of EMMA support basic biomedical and preclinical research, and the available research tools and mouse models of human disease offer the opportunity to develop a better understanding of molecular disease mechanisms and may provide the foundation for the development of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic strategies.

欧洲小鼠突变体档案馆（EMMA）是一家非营利性质的资料库，致力于收集、存档（通过冷冻保存）和分配对基础生物医学研究至关重要的相关突变小鼠品系。实验室小鼠是人类遗传和多因素疾病研究的最重要哺乳动物模型。EMMA所提供的全面实物和数据资源，支撑了基础生物医学及临床前期研究，而可用的研究工具和人类疾病小鼠模型，则为深入理解分子疾病机制提供了可能，并可能为诊断、预后和治疗方案的发展奠定基础。
