IN ADDITION, WHEN CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF INCOME TO APPROPRIATE FROM BOARD-DESIGNATED ASSETS, THE TRUSTEES CONSIDER THE NEED TO MAINTAIN UNRESTRICTED ASSETS TO MEET LIQUIDITY COVENANTS RELATED TO OUTSTANDING BONDS. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS SET THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATION TO ACHIEVE A NOMINAL RATE OF RETURN THAT WILL AT LEAST COVER INFLATION AND THE SPEND RATE WITH A PRUDENT LEVEL OF RISK. THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATION FOR THE BOARD-DESIGNATED PORTION OF THE ENDOWMENT IS SET TO ACHIEVE GREATER STABILITY IN THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS. THE BOARD ALLOCATED 4% OF THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE VALUE OF DONOR-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT BALANCES TO SUPPORT THE DESIGNATED PROGRAMS. ALL EARNINGS ON DONOR ENDOWMENTS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THE LABORATORY AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WERE RETAINED IN THE ENDOWMENT.

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE MISSION OF THE LABORATORY IS TO DISCOVER PRECISE GENOMIC SOLUTIONS FOR DISEASE AND EMPOWER THE GLOBAL BIOMEDICAL COMMUNITY IN THE SHARED QUEST TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION THE LABORATORY 1) CONDUCTS BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TO INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, PHYSIOLOGICAL, AND GENETICALLY DETERMINED AILMENTS THROUGH RESEARCH WITH GENETICALLY DEFINED EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS; 2) CONDUCTS TRANSLATIONAL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TO IDENTIFY THE GENOMIC BASIS FOR HUMAN DISEASE, PROMOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE PRECISE, TARGETED THERAPIES, AND OFFER CUTTING EDGE GENOMIC DIAGNOSTICS TO THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY; 3) TRAINS AND EDUCATES SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN THESE AREAS; AND 4) PROMOTES SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF MOUSE MODELS OF HUMAN DISEASE AND THE PROVISION OF RESEARCH AND CLINICAL SERVICES TO THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY. THE LABORATORY ALSO WORKS TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSLATION OF DISCOVERIES MADE IN BASIC RESEARCH TO TREATMENTS FOR HUMAN DISEASE.
PROGRAM SERVICES	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A-4C 4A. GENETIC RESOURCES AND SERVICES ACCOMPLISHMENTS JAX PROVIDES THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WITH MOUSE GENETIC RESOURCES, RELATED TECHNOLOGIES, AND INFORMATION THAT SUPPORTS THEIR USE. THIS INCLUDES CONDUCTING PEER-REVIEWED, RESOURCE-GENERATING RESEARCH AND MANAGING THE MOUSE REPOSITORY, A COLLECTION OF OVER 7,000 UNIQUE STRAINS, MANY OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE ONLY FROM JAX. JAX DEVELOPS MOUSE MODELS FOR HUMAN DISEASE, BEGINNING WITH DISCOVERIES OF SPONTANEOUS MUTANTS FROM JAX PRODUCTION COLONIES AND INCLUDING THE OPTIMIZATION OF MODELS ACQUIRED BY THE REPOSITORY. THIS EFFORT INCLUDES ENGINEERING NEW MODELS FOR OUR OWN HYPOTHESIS-DRIVEN RESEARCH. DURING 2014 THE LABORATORY CREATED NEW MODELS WHICH INCLUDED 15 FOR PEDIATRIC CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE AND 2 TRANSGENIC MODELS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE. JAX HAS A PILOT PROJECT TO USE CRISPR/CAS9 TECHNOLOGY FOR SELECTED TARGET GENES AT SCALE, PROVIDING KEY OPERATIONAL DATA TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF INCORPORATING SITE-SPECIFIC NUCLEASE TECHNOLOGY INTO THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PROGRAM. IN ADDITION SMALLER SCALE PILOT EXPERIMENTS OPTIMIZE NON-ROUTINE GENETIC ENGINEERING, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF HUMAN DISEASE ALLELES, CONDITIONAL ALLELES AND REPORTER KNOCK-INS. JAX ACHIEVED AN 85% SUCCESS RATE FOR INJECTION ATTEMPTS SCREENED; BY COMPARISON TRADITIONAL METHODS HAVE AN AVERAGE 57% SUCCESS RATE. THE MOUSE MUTANT RESOURCE (MMR) IS THE JACKSON LABORATORY'S PRIMARY REPOSITORY FOR THE ACQUISITION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICE CARRYING SPONTANEOUS, DISEASE-CAUSING MUTATIONS. IN 2014 FIFTY-FIVE (55) OVERLAPPING STRAINS HAVE BEEN GENETICALLY MAPPED AND ANALYZED BY WES. TWENTY-ONE (21) IDENTIFIED MUTATIONS WERE VALIDATED OVER THE LAST YEAR AND, SEVENTEEN (17) WERE CLASSIFIED AS NEW ALLELES OF GENES WITH PRIOR EXISTING MUTATIONS. FOUR (4) WERE CLASSIFIED AS MUTATIONS IN GENES FOR WHICH NO PHENOTYPE-CAUSING VARIANT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN OBSERVED. FINALLY, TO ASSAY SPECIFIC GENE MUTATIONS WITHIN MMR MICE AND TO MAKE NEW MMR STRAIN DEVELOPMENT KNOWN TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, NINETEEN (19) MOLECULAR ASSAYS WERE DEVELOPED, TWELVE (12) ONLINE PUBLICATIONS WERE POSTED TO THE MMR WEBSITE AND THIRTEEN (13) STRAINS WERE MADE PUBLIC THROUGH MOUSE GENOME INFORMATICS (MGI) DIRECT DATA SUBMISSION. WHILE JAX DEVELOPS NEW MOUSE MODELS IN HOUSE, THE REPOSITORY'S MAJOR SOURCE OF NEW MOUSE STRAINS IS THE STRAIN ACQUISITION PROGRAM. ACQUISITION ADDED APPROXIMATELY 600 STRAINS IN 2014, INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE JAX COLLECTION TO OVER 7,800 INDIVIDUAL MOUSE LINES. A KEY COMPONENT OF THE ACQUISITION PROCESS IS THE WORK DONE BY A TEAM OF CURATORS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INTERACTING WITH DONATING LABORATORIES TO OBTAIN TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND ARRANGE IMPORTATION. CURATORS ASSIMILATE INFORMATION FROM DONATING RESEARCHERS AND PUBLISHED LITERATURE TO COMPOSE A "USER MANUAL" FOR EACH LINE. THIS INFORMATION IS ADDED TO THE JAXMICE CATALOGUE FOR USE BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. JAX OFFERS ONE OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE AND DIVERSE MOUSE RESOURCES IN EXISTENCE, ALLOWING US TO SUPPORT A WIDE ARRAY OF RESEARCH AND TO PRESERVE STRAINS THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT BE LOST. THE JAX CRE REPOSITORY IS AN INTEGRATED EFFORT TO GENERATE, CHARACTERIZE AND DISTRIBUTE CRE DRIVER TOOL STRAINS TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. THESE STRAINS ALLOW SCIENTISTS TO GENERATE PRECISE GENE DELETIONS IN A SPECIFIC ORGAN AT A SPECIFIC TIME. THE JAX CRE REPOSITORY CURRENTLY COMPRISES OVER 300 OF THESE STRAINS THAT COMPLEMENT OUR COLLECTION OF >500 "KNOCKOUT READY" STRAINS. WE EMPLOY A COMPREHENSIVE, HIGH-THROUGHPUT CRE DRIVER STRAIN CHARACTERIZATION PIPELINE, WHICH INCLUDES TWO EMBRYONIC AND TWO POSTNATAL TIME POINTS, TO PROVIDE EXTENDED FUNCTIONAL DATA FOR END USERS. ALL IMAGE AND ANNOTATION DATA IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR WEBSITE AND A NEW DATABASE DEVELOPED BY MGI AT JAX, CREPORTAL.ORG. THE CRE REPOSITORY WEBSITE IS ONE OF THE MOST HEAVILY VISITED SECTIONS OF ALL JAX WEBSITES, WITH OVER 120,000 PAGEVIEWS PER YEAR. CHARACTERIZATION DATA WEBPAGES SEE ESPECIALLY HEAVY TRAFFIC, DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS VALUE-ADDED INFORMATION IS BEING ACTIVELY EMPLOYED BY CRE MOUSE USERS. A MAJORITY OF THE STRAINS PRODUCED BY THE KNOCKOUT MOUSE PROJECT (KOMP2) AND INTERNATIONAL PHENOTYPING PROGRAMS CAN BE MODIFIED BY CRE TOOL STRAINS, SO THE LABORATORY IS WORKING TO ALIGN THE JAX CRE REPOSITORY WITH THIS EFFORT. TWO PROJECTS TOWARDS THIS END ARE UNDERWAY. THE FIRST LEVERAGES THE CAPACITY OF THE JAX KOMP2 PHENOTYPING CENTER TO DETERMINE IF POPULAR CRE STRAINS DISPLAY POTENTIALLY CONFOUNDING PHENOTYPES. THIS SET OF STRAINS COMPRISES THOSE WITH HIGH DISTRIBUTION HISTORY AND OTHERS OF SPECIFIC INTEREST. TEN STRAINS HAVE COMPLETED TESTING AND DATA ANALYSIS IS UNDERWAY. THE SECOND PROJECT IS BACKCROSSING AN OVERLAPPING SET TO C57BL/6NJ, PROVIDING A COMPLEMENTARY RESOURCE ON THE SAME GENETIC BACKGROUND AS THE KOMP2 RESOURCE. THE PRODUCTION GOAL IS TO PRODUCE 833 NEW STRAINS TO THE JAX KOMP2 PHENOTYPING PROJECT AND IN 2014 PASS THE 75% MARK WITH OVER 695 NEW KNOCK OUT MICE. KNOCKOUT MOUSE EMBRYONIC PHENOTYPING PIPELINE - UP TO ONE THIRD OF KNOCKOUT MICE GENERATED AS PART OF THE KOMP2 PROGRAM ARE PREDICTED TO BE EMBRYONIC LETHAL. UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES OF EMBRYONIC LETHALITY CANNOT BE CAPTURED BY AN ADULT MOUSE PHENOTYPING PARADIGM, YET WOULD PROVIDE TREMENDOUS INSIGHT INTO GENE FUNCTION. SUBSEQUENT DETAILED ANALYSIS PROMISES TO SHED LIGHT ON THE GENES AND PROCESSES THAT, WHEN ALTERED, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HUMAN BIRTH DEFECTS. PRE- OR PERINATAL DEATH CAN RESULT FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF DEFECTS AT VARIOUS STAGES DURING GESTATION; HOWEVER THESE CLUSTER AT SEVERAL CRITICAL TIME POINTS WHICH CAN BE USED TO BUILD AN EFFICIENT CHARACTERIZATION SCHEME FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT PROGRAMS SUCH AS KOMP2. WORKING WITH THE INTERNATIONAL MOUSE PHENOTYPING CONSORTIUM (IMPC), WE HAVE DEVELOPED A STANDARDIZED EMBRYONIC LETHAL PHENOTYPING PIPELINE THAT MAXIMIZES THE NUMBER OF PHENOTYPES SCORED IN AN EFFICIENT, COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER. IN ADDITION TO GROSS ASSESSMENT AND EXPERT THIS INCLUDES HIGH RESOLUTION, THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING AT MULTIPLE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. EVALUATION OF PHENOTYPES, THIS WORK WILL COMPLEMENT AND EXTEND THE CATALOGUE OF MOUSE PHENOTYPE DATA PROVIDED BY THE KOMP2 PROGRAM. TOOLS FOR STUDYING PARENT-OF-ORIGIN EFFECTS IN TURNER AND DOWN SYNDROMES - IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT, JAX DERIVED A PANEL OF MOUSE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS FROM TWO MOUSE MODELS OF TURNER SYNDROME; JAX#001529 C3H/HESN-PAF/J ('PAF') AND JAX#00919 IN(X)1X/J ('INX'). TURNER SYNDROME IS A GENETIC CONDITION CAUSED BY A COMPLETE OR PARTIAL ABSENCE IN FEMALES OF THE SECOND X CHROMOSOME (MONOSOMY). AFFECTED XO FEMALES SUFFER FROM A VARIETY OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES INCLUDING GONADAL DYSGENESIS, SHORT STATURE, HEART DEFECTS AND LEARNING DISABILITIES. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE ORIGIN OF THE SINGLE X CHROMOSOME IN XO FEMALES HAS AN IMPACT ON CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE DISEASE. FOR EXAMPLE, A MATERNALLY INHERITED X CHROMOSOME (XM) IS ASSOCIATED WITH MORE ADVANCED SOCIAL IMPAIRMENT AND AUTISM. DEPENDING ON THE GENETIC CROSS, PAF AND INX MICE CAN BE USED TO GENERATE XMO OR XPO OFFSPRING. JAX TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS TO CREATE XMO AND XPO ES CELL LINES THAT CAN BE USED TO STUDY THE MECHANISM OF PARENT-OF-ORIGIN EFFECTS AND THEIR IMPACT ON IN VITRO DIFFERENTIATED NEURONAL LINEAGES.SIMILARLY, JAX ALSO DERIVED MES CELLS FROM A MOUSE MODEL OF DOWN SYNDROME, TS65DN, WHICH CARRIES THREE COPIES OF THE REGION OF MOUSE CHROMOSOME 16 THAT IS HIGHLY CONSERVED AND HYPOTHESIZED TO BE HOMOLOGOUS WITH HUMAN CHROMOSOME 21. DOWN SYNDROME IS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTRA COPY OF CHROMOSOME 21 (TRISOMY 21), AND THE PARENTAL ORIGIN OF THE THIRD CHROMOSOME CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE DISEASE; FOR EXAMPLE, INDIVIDUALS WITH A MATERNALLY DERIVED CHROMOSOME 21 HAVE MORE SEVERE CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. TO CREATE A SET OF IN VITRO TOOLS FOR THE STUDY OF PARENT-OF-ORIGIN EFFECTS, JAX GENERATED MOUSE ES CELL LINES WITH PATERNALLY DERIVED TS65DN CHROMOSOMES AS WELL AS MATERNALLY DERIVED TS65DN CHROMOSOMES. THESE ES CELLS CAN BE USED TO STUDY THE UNDERLYING MECHANISMS OF PARENT-OF-ORIGIN EFFECTS IN THE CONTEXT OF DOWN SYNDROME, PARTICULARLY IN IN VITRO DIFFERENTIATED CARDIOMYOCTES. INFORMATICS - ONE OF THE GOALS OF JAX IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO SUPPORT THE USE OF MOUSE MODELS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. TO THIS END, JAX CURATES THE JAXMICE DATABASE WHICH CONTAINS A "STRAIN DATASHEET" FOR EACH JAX STRAIN INCLUDING A STRAIN DESCRIPTION, GENE AND ALLELE INFORMATION, RESEARCH APPLICATIONS, AND A LIST OF PUBLICATIONS DESCRIBING THE MOUSE, AS WELL AS LINKS TO GENOTYPING PROTOCOLS, HEALTH REPORTS, AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN MOUSE GENOME INFORMATICS (MGI), PUBMED, AND OTHER WEB RESOURCES. JAX ALSO PROVIDES TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON WEB PAGES HIGHLIGHTING JAX RESOURCES BY RESEARCH OR DISEASE AREA. GIVEN THE STEADY ACQUISITION OF NEW STRAINS, WE ARE CONTINUALLY ADDING NEW DATASHEETS AND UPDATING WEBPAGES TO REFLECT NEW RESOURCES AVAILABLE. AS
