Clicking on any of the topic headers in the center of the homepage leads to an assemblage of resources, project information, and laboratory homepage links related to the WTSI's six main areas of study.
Biological resources listed here include the Mutagenic Insertion and Chromosome Engineering Resource and the Sanger Institute Gene Trap Resource (both of which aid in developing genetically modified animal models), the WTSI Microarray Facility (which produces arrays for a range of organisms largely for use by Sanger researchers), and Clone Ordering (which allows external scientists to order mouse and human clone cells free of charge).
