Release of crossed lines of natural accessions
The F2 seed stocks established by crossing Arabidopsis natural accessions with Col and Ler are now available from RIKEN BRC. Available as genetic material for strains obtained from screening.
Cell Engineering Division
We are looking for the requests from users of human iPS cells
- Generation of a cell line in which a specific gene deletion (knockout) or a specific gene mutation is introduced in the iPS cells derived from healthy individuals.
- Repair of a causal gene mutation in certain disease-specific iPS cell line.
- Adding whole genome information to the cell lines of the disease of your interest etc.

A non-viral gene transfection vector, piggyBac®
It is an expression system that allows easy integration and excision of transposons into the genome, so please use it when establishing stable cell lines. DNA Bank provides pB vectors that match research needs, such as those capable of expressing crRNA for CRISPR/Cas systems.
Microbe Division (JCM)
Yeasts from Rishiri & Iriomote Islands
A series of 916 yeast strains isolated from natural environments in Rishiri & Iriomote Islands in Japan has been opened. The series, including more than 150 species, awaits your research project.
