The European Mouse Mutant Archive - EMMA is a non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant strains essential for basic biomedical research. The laboratory mouse is the most important mammalian model for studying genetic and multi-factorial diseases in man. Thus the work of EMMA will play a crucial role in exploiting the tremendous potential benefits to human health presented by the current research in mammalian genetics. The EMMA network is a partnership of several laboratories and other institutions throughout Europe. The current membership includes the CNR Campus "A. Buzzati-Traverso" in Monterotondo, Italy (core structure), the CNRS Centre de Distribution, de Typage et d'Archivage animal in Orleans, France, the MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit in Harwell, UK, the KI Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, the FCG Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Oeiras, Portugal, the HMGU Institute of Experimental Genetics in Munich, Germany, the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute in Hinxton, UK, the GIE-CERBM Institut Clinique de la Souris, Illkirch, France, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, the CSIC Centro Nacional de Biotecnología in Madrid, Spain, the BSRC "Alexander Fleming" in Vari, Greece , the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Prague, Czech Republic, the UOULU Biocenter Oulu in Oulu, Finland and the VETMEDUNI Biomodels Austria in Vienna, Austria. To ensure the operation of such a large and international enterprise an effective management structure consisting of several components was implemented. EMMA is open for the incorporation of new members into the current network to share the increasing workload and guidelines for this process were established.

Abstract
The European Mouse Mutant Archive - EMMA is a non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant strains essential for basic biomedical research. The laboratory mouse is the most important mammalian model for studying genetic and multi-factorial diseases in man. Thus the work of EMMA will play a crucial role in exploiting the tremendous potential benefits to human health presented by the current research in mammalian genetics. The EMMA network is a partnership of several laboratories and other institutions throughout Europe. The current membership includes the CNR Campus "A. Buzzati-Traverso" in Monterotondo, Italy (core structure), the CNRS Centre de Distribution, de Typage et d'Archivage animal in Orleans, France, the MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit in Harwell, UK, the KI Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, the FCG Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Oeiras, Portugal, the HMGU Institute of Experimental Genetics in Munich, Germany, the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute in Hinxton, UK, the GIE-CERBM Institut Clinique de la Souris, Illkirch, France, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, the CSIC Centro Nacional de Biotecnología in Madrid, Spain, the BSRC "Alexander Fleming" in Vari, Greece , the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Prague, Czech Republic, the UOULU Biocenter Oulu in Oulu, Finland and the VETMEDUNI Biomodels Austria in Vienna, Austria.
