All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for research projects to make maximum progress toward the goal of producing a null-mutant mouse phenotype resource for each gene in mouse strain C57BL/6, for the purpose of elucidating functional information for each protein-coding gene in the mammalian genome. The specific objectives of this FOA are to generate mutant mouse lines using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, perform phenotyping assays...
