EUMODIC is a large consortium of 18 research institutes in 8 European countries who are experts in the field of mouse functional genomics and phenotyping.
EUMODIC will undertake a primary phenotype assessment of up to 650 mouse mutant lines.
Mutant lines will be made available from another EU initiative, the EUCOMM (European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis) project which aims to produce conditional mutations in 20,000 mouse genes.
In addition, a number of these mutant lines will be subject to a more in depth secondary phenotype assessment.
