The Modified SHIRPA Technical Training Course
1Overview
The Modified SHIRPA is one of the simple and quick methods for evaluating comprehensive mouse phenotypic traits on mouse morphology, behavior, sensory responses, etc.
It includes approximately 60 test items for visual inspection by manual handling using simple equipment (refer to the RIKEN SHIRPA homepage). It is a globally standardized set of procedures specified by the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC).
The Technical Training Course navigates this method through lecture, demonstration, and laboratory practices so that trainees can master it in 4 days.
