Cyagen Knockout Catalog Models – Choose from Two Offers

Cyagen’s Knockout Catalog Models include over 10,000 strains, now available as searchable listings – query by your gene of interest (gene name/NCBI ID) to identify models that we have available for cryorecovery. All projects originate from cryopreserved sperm, but are deliverable as ≥3 mice. Our repository is constantly growing, so feel free to inquire about the status of any specific gene(s) knockouts not shown online for more information about pending availability.

We currently have two promotional offers available on orders from Cyagen Knockout Catalog Models:

 

Save Up to $4,450 on Knockout Catalog Orders – Win a Free Model!

Now through August 31st, order any ready-to-use knockout (KO) strains from the Cyagen Knockout Catalog Model repository to receive 10% off alongside free homozygous breeding services – providing a total savings of $4,450. In addition to the limited-time discount, all projects initiated by the deadline will be entered to win a FREE KO catalog model!

Global Group Buy Event

Cyagen is simultaneously offering a Global Group Buy Event through August 25th – join together with researchers worldwide to save up to $3,000 on orders from Cyagen Knockout Catalog Models.  There are three tiers of group buy discounts available - formed by 2, 3, and 5 participants for each knockout (KO) mouse strain available in the catalog.

Prospective clients may choose to participate in both the ‘Global Group Buy Event’ and the “Win a Free Knockout Model” savings events, although discounts may not be combined.

 

Support for COVID-19 Research Models

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the experts at Cyagen have developed complimentary resources for those seeking accurate animal models for their COVID-19 studies. In addition to our COVID-19 resources, we are also prioritizing inquiries related to COVID-19 animal models and providing special offers on ACE2 Models - doing our part to accelerate research progress.

COVID-19 Resource List for Researchers

ACE2 Mouse Models Bundle Discount – Save 10%

There are multiple approaches to developing humanized ACE2 (hACE2) models, including ROSA26 conditional knockin (cKI) or endogenous replacement, which yield different proteins. To support the elucidation of ACE2 functionality in COVID-19 onset across different models, Cyagen is offering a bundle discount of 10 % off when ordering any combination of hACE2 or ACE2 KO models in either C57BL/6J or BALB/c strain backgrounds.

 

These ACE2 models are estimated to be available in as soon as 2 months – request the PCR Genotyping reports and learn more about this offer:

Custom Cell Line Services

As a leading provider of custom genome editing services, Cyagen also offers a variety of custom cell line services. Leverage our optimized CRISPR-Pro cell line modeling service platform for hassle-free research. CRISPR-Pro enables large fragment excision or accurate mutations in various cell lines, including hard-to-transfect, cancer, and stem cell lines.

We disable the gene of interest by the removal of large fragments of the gene instead of the introduction of a frameshift mutation, which will make sure the complete loss of gene function.

Knockin defined as an exogenous gene inserted in a native locus of interest. CRISPR-Pro technology enables large fragment knockin in variety of mammalian cell lines.

Point mutation defined as one or more nucleotides are mutated. The insertion, deletion, nonsense and sense mutations alter the amino acid sequence, thus changing its functions or properties of a given protein. Point mutation knockin cell lines enable a clear understanding of the contribution of the mutation to a phenotype.

Our lentiviral-based overexpression stable cell lines can be used to express large amounts of a protein of interest. After transduced by lentiviruses, the gene of interest will be integrated into host cell genome and permanently pass to next cell generation.

We use 3rd generation lentiviral systems for the highest biosafety standards.

With years of gene editing experience, Cyagen has established a comprehensive cell repository and optimized our lentiviral platform to facilitate your research – providing cell lines with stable expression of relevant genes. Our platform can target most mammalian cell types including hard-to-transfect cells, primary cells, stem cells, and terminally differentiated cells - such as neurons.
