Proper Citation: MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit (RRID:SCR_005378)
Description: It is now widely known that animals share many genes with humans and can suffer from the same diseases, for example diabetes or deafness. Investigating these diseases in animals can provide vital leads to understanding both their causes and ways to treat them in humans. This approach to medical research lies at the heart of work at the MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit (MGU) at Harwell in Oxfordshire. In 1995 the MRC Radiobiology Unit was reconstituted to form two new units, the Radiation and Genome Stability Unit and the MGU. These opened in January 1996, together with the UK Mouse Genome Centre which is now part of MGU, making MRC Harwell a unique campus for multi-disciplinary genetics research. Since MGU's Director Steve Brown took the reins in 1996, the unit has dramatically expanded its scientific scope and increased its personnel from 40 to over 100. It now has 13 research programs encompassing molecular genetics, genomics, genetic manipulation and data analysis at all levels, from single genes to the whole genome. With a combination of cutting-edge facilities and expertise unrivaled in Europe, MGU Harwell has become firmly established as one of the world's leading academic centres for mouse genetics.
