Production tracking – GenTaR

The IMPC new tracking system is GenTaR (Genome Targeting Repository) and is available since October 2020. A new tracking system was necessary in order to accomodate production using CRISPR.

Since 6th August 2021, GenTaR is fully replacing iMits (the International Micro-Injection Tracking System), the system that the IMPC was using prior to GenTaR.

These tracking systems have a number of functionalities and play a key role in:

• Coordinating the production of transgenic mice between high-throughput mouse production facilities
• Minimizing overlap and maximizing efficiencies
• Capturing the intention to produce mutant mice targeting a particular gene
• Recording progress of mouse production, about the mutation created and phenotyping performed on the mutant mouse line

iMits has been retired. All data in iMits has been moved to GenTaR; please visit GenTaR for the most up to date production infomation.
