The Chlamydomonas Resource Center serves as a central repository to receive, catalog, preserve, and distribute wild-type and mutant cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and related strains. Molecular resources include plasmids for insertional mutagenesis, expression vectors and other tools for molecular biology, and cDNA libraries. The poster will describe the Chlamydomonas Resource Center with respect to history, cultures, plasmids, teaching kits, the molecular mapping kit, and order and shipment statistics. The Chlamydomonas Resource Center is supported by NSF Grant #0444335.
