Core facility that provides the following services: Medium-density speed congenic backcross service, Medium-density genetic background check service, DNA extraction. DartMouse is a not-for-profit core facility funded by the National Institutes of Health''s National Center for Research Resources. The mission of DartMouse is to facilitate the development of congenic mice in support of pre-clinical projects across the United States. Use of DartMouse allows the generation of congenic mice in 5 generations (~1.5 years), versus the 10 generations (~3 years) required by conventional back-crossing. Facility staff provides expert advice on mouse speed congenic development, mouse genetic background analysis, and mouse genetic mapping. Investigators provide us with mouse tail clippings. From these, DartMouse isolates genomic DNA and performs and analyzes complete genome-wide scans. We return data in graphical and spreadsheet formats, and make specific recommendations on breeder selection. We operate an Illumina BeadStation 500. Chips use a 1449 SNP array covering the mouse genome with an average density of <5 cM.

The Pathology Shared Resource (PSR) provides four primary services for NCCC investigators: # it partners researchers with appropriate pathologists to provide specific expertise matched to the needs of the research project; # it coordinates the procurement, preservation, and distribution of human tissues and cells for funded and developmental NCCC basic and clinical research; # it performs histologic, immunohistologic, and molecular diagnostic procedures including DNA sequencing SNP genotyping and quantitative gene expression analysis for NCCC researchers; and # it provides a GMP cell processing laboratory for the isolation/purification, manipulation, expansion and/or storage of cells derived from a patient''s/subject''s peripheral blood intended for autologous reinfusion. The Pathology Shared Resource is closely integrated with the anatomic pathology laboratory of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and provides a cost-effective mechanism for NCCC investigators to take advantage of the economic efficiencies provided by that high-volume facility. The Core is managed by the Norris Cotton Cancer Center as a shared resource on behalf of the university and is available to all investigators within the greater Dartmouth research community. This Shared Resource is supported by funds from the Norris Cotton Cancer Center Core Grant and is overseen by the EMTG, an oversight and advisory committee of the Cancer Center.

Core facility that provides the following services: Maintainence and dissemination of transgenic and mutant mice.

The Genetically Modified NOD Mouse Core provides Center investigators, as well as researchers elsewhere, with access to transgenic and mutant lines derived from the NOD mouse model: some will be generated within the Core; others are established lines of proven experimental value that are maintained in the Core. The Core will construct transgenic mice in strains that have a high susceptibility to diabetes (in particular in the NOD line). This includes trangenesis by conventional pronuclear injection or by delivery of RNAi cassettes on lentiviral vectors. The Core will also provide a panel of existing transgenic and mutant lines. These lines are chosen because of their established interest in allowing the dissection of immunological tolerance in Type 1 Diabetes, and in response to Center investigator needs.

Core facility that provides the following services: DNA screening from clinical samples, Comparison of bacterial associations in health vs. disease by microarray, Human microbial identification microarray service.

The Microbial Identification Microarray Core (MIM) at The Forsyth Institute is a one-of-a-kind core service that enables the rapid determination of bacterial profiles of human clinical samples. The first MIM offering focuses on the detection of bacterial profiles from clinical samples from the oral cavity. Drs. Bruce Paster and Floyd Dewhirst, have used molecular analyses based on 16S rRNA sequencing to identify about 600 oral bacterial species, of which over half have not yet been cultivated. Using this information, they have developed the Human Oral Microbe Identification Microarray, or HOMIM, which allows the simultaneous detection of about 300 of the most prevalent oral bacterial species, including those that cannot yet be grown in vitro. Microarrays targeting bacterial species of the human and mouse intestines are presently under development. In addition, exploratory and pilot studies to identify bacteria within any human clinical sample by 16S rRNA cloning and sequencing are available. This service is available to researchers from all academic institutions and to industry. Researchers submit DNA isolated from clinical samples and receive an online comprehensive data analysis and easy-to-interpret readout. Depending upon the number of samples to be analyzed and position in the queue, results can usually be obtained within days. Note that results are presently for research purposes only.

The JHS is the largest single-site longitudinal, population-based, cohort study of 5,302 persons initiated in the fall of 2000 to prospectively investigate the determinants of CVD among African Americans in the Jackson, MS metropolitan statistical area. The JHS investigates the various genotype and phenotype factors that affect high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and other important diseases in African Americans. The primary objective of the Jackson Heart Study is to investigate the causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in African Americans to learn how to best prevent this group of diseases in the future. More specific objectives include: 1. Identification of factors, which influence the development, and worsening of CVD in African Americans, with an emphasis on manifestations related to high blood pressure (such as remodeling of the left ventricle of the heart, coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke and disorders affecting the blood vessels of the kidney). 2. Building research capabilities in minority institutions at the undergraduate and graduate level by developing partnerships between minority and majority institutions and enhancing participation of minority investigators in large-scale epidemiologic studies. 3. Attracting minority students to and preparing them for careers in health sciences.
