Third St. Bloomington IN 47405-7005 USA Telephone: 812-855-5783 Fax: 812-855-2577 Email: flystocks (at) bio.indiana.edu Sample type: Fly, Sequenced strain, Human disease model curated http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu/bloomhome.htm Collects, maintains and distributes Drosophila melanogaster strains for research. Emphasis is placed on genetic tools that are useful to a broad range of investigations. These include basic stocks of flies used in genetic analysis such as marker, balancer, mapping, and transposon-tagging strains; mutant alleles of identified genes, including a large set of transposable element insertion alleles; defined sets of deficiencies and a variety of other chromosomal aberrations; engineered lines for somatic and germline clonal analysis; GAL4 and UAS lines for targeted gene expression; enhancer trap and lacZ-reporter strains with defined expression patterns for marking tissues; and a collection of transposon-induced lethal mutations.<br /> Approximately 29,000 fly strains are currently available. Up-to-date stock lists are available for searching, browsing, or downloading/copying at the Internet site. An order form is available on the same site. One small subculture is provided of each requested stock. Larger quantities of animals cannot be provided by the center. Requests may be submitted via a web-based automated ordering system. Stock center scientists are available to answer questions about center stocks, use of the database, or general questions about Drosophila genetics for researchers new to the field. New users of the collection must contact the center for a Bloomington user number (BUN) before ordering stocks.<br /> Category:DBI-0841154 nif-0000-00241 Resource:Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center 2012-12-04T00:00:00 Research Resource Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center at Indiana University Resource:NIF Integrated Animal View Resource Synonym Resource:NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Fees from users of the collection (50% of Center direct costs are now provided by user fees) National Institute of Child Health and Human Development National Institute of General Medical Sciences National Center for Research Resources Supporting Agency SuperCategory Drosophila melanogaster Species Related disease Related application Resource:NIF Data Federation US Biobank Resource:One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing RelatedTo ModifiedDate Label Genetic construct Mutation Stock Somatic Scientist Invertebrate Insertion Germline Database Genetic analysis Genetic Gene Fly Transposon Human disease model Protein trap Duplication Sequenced strain Transposon insertion Deletion Deficiency Disease model Keywords Indiana University; Indiana; USA Is part of Id Material storage repository Organism supplier Has role Grant File:BDSC.PNG ExampleImage Definition DefiningCitation CurationStatus Comment Public Availability Address Abbrev
