... It receives nematode strains and mutants and reprints of related publications and data (raw and analyzed) relevant to nematode genetics; stores these materials; verifies genetic status or scientific accuracy; distributes bibliographic and genetic information on mutant strains to individual scientists and, through publications, to the scientific public at large; and distributes mutant strains to interested scientists.

... Also available are human and WI-38 female diploid lung cells available at early, middle, and late population doubling levels. Cultures of animal origin include skin fibroblasts from a variety of species of nonhuman primates, bovine and equine endothelial cells, smooth muscle and fibroblast cultures, and canine and porcine endothelial cells.
