Abstract

Mammalian genome research has conventionally involved mice and rats as model organisms for humans. Given the recent advances in life science research, to understand complex and higher-order biological phenomena and to elucidate pathologies and develop therapies to promote human health and overcome diseases, it is necessary to utilize not only mice and rats but also other bioresources such as standardized genetic materials and appropriate cell lines in order to gain deeper molecular and cellular insights. The Japanese bioresource infrastructure program called the National BioResource Project (NBRP) systematically collects, preserves, controls the quality, and provides bioresources for use in life science research worldwide. In this review, based on information from a database of papers related to NBRP bioresources, we present the bioresources that have proved useful for mammalian genome research, including mice, rats, other animal resources; DNA-related materials; and human/animal cells and microbes.
