Bioresearch & Veterinary Services (BVS) Central Transgenic Core (CTC)

The Bioresearch & Veterinary Services (BVS) Central Transgenic Core (CTC) offers a comprehensive, reliable & high-quality transgenic service to researchers at the University of Edinburgh.

CTC specializes in the production of transgenic rodents through microinjection of DNA, RNA or Embryonic Stem (ES) cells. The evolution of CRISPR/CAS9 technology has revolutionized the field of transgenesis and, in collaboration with the researchers at the University, we have used this technology with great success to produce knock-out and knock-in rodent mice. 

Other services offered by CTC include Cryopreservation of sperm and embryos and Rederivation of rodent lines via embryo transfer, IVF or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
