The primary objective of Core Grants for Vision Research is to provide groups of investigators who have achieved independent National Eye Institute (NEI) funding with additional, shared support to enhance their own and their institution’s capability for conducting vision research. Secondary objectives of this program include facilitating collaborative studies and attracting other scientists to research on the visual system.

The Genotyping/Phenotyping module provides a service to efficiently identify the
genotype of mutant or transgenic animals. The service provides PCR
amplification, gel electrophoretic analysis of DNA samples. Assistance in
interpreting data and developing and optimizing genotyping protocols also is
available. The Genotyping/Phenotyping module also can assist with plasmid
construction.
The module also provides a service to perform electroretinography on normal and
mutant mice and zebrafish. Personnel from the module either perform the analysis
or train personnel from individual laboratories. Behavioral analyses of visual
function can also be provided by this module.
