PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory defect in humans. Congenital, perinatal or eariy onset hearing loss occurs in approximately 7 out of 1000 neonates in the United States. In approximately half of the children born with severe hearing impairment, a genetic contribution is suspected. The powerful molecular and genetic techniques available in zebrafish and mouse combined with the functional similarities between mouse and human audition make these organism useful model systems for studying deafness. Core D supports users of genetic models to study genes affecting auditory, vestibular and olfactory system function. We provide technical support in the form of expert mouse husbandry (receiving, setting up crosses, weaning, fostering, background transfers, etc), genotyping, and notification/delivery of requested mice to the users. Core D also supports several facilities for behavioral and physiological analyses of mutants including auditory brainstem responses (ABR), simple motor tests, rotarod testing, and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) analysis. Other services include access to lentiviral transfection technologies and resources for genomic and proteomic data analysis. Advice and training is available to all users from a knowledgeable and helpful Core staff. The Genetics Core will provide greater efficiency for researchers and promote new collaborations between investigators. Quarteriy user meetings provide information on Core resources, discussion of protocols, and talks by Core users on their own research projects currently being pursued. Our goal is to facilitate the use of genetic models to broaden our knowledge of communicafive disorders toward improving human health.

项目摘要（参见说明）： 听力损失是人类最常见的感觉缺陷。在美国，大约千分之七的新生儿患有先天性、围产期或早发性听力损失。大约一半的出生时患有严重听力障碍的儿童怀疑有遗传因素。斑马鱼和小鼠强大的分子和遗传技术，加上小鼠和人类听力之间的功能相似性，使这些生物体成为研究耳聋的有用模型系统。 Core D 支持遗传模型的用户研究影响听觉、前庭和嗅觉系统功能的基因。我们以专家小鼠饲养（接收、建立杂交、断奶、寄养、背景转移等）、基因分型以及向用户通知/交付所需小鼠的形式提供技术支持。 Core D 还支持多种用于突变体行为和生理分析的工具，包括听觉脑干反应 (ABR)、简单运动测试、旋转测试和前庭眼反射 (VOR) 分析。其他服务包括获取慢病毒转染技术以及基因组和蛋白质组数据分析资源。知识渊博且乐于助人的核心员工可为所有用户提供建议和培训。 遗传学核心将为研究人员提供更高的效率，并促进研究人员之间的新合作。季度用户会议提供有关核心资源、协议讨论以及核心用户关于他们当前正在进行的研究项目的演讲的信息。我们的目标是促进遗传模型的使用，以扩大我们对沟通障碍的了解，从而改善人类健康。
