About E. coli Genetic Stock Center (CGSC)
The E. coli Genetic Stock Center (CGSC) houses a collection of approx 11,000 nonpathogenic E. coli strains (as of Fall 2005), and has provided lab strains and advice on strain choice and strain construction to the E. coli community since 1971. Although strains used to be provided free of charge to academic users, the stock center has recently instituted a very small subscription fee to help defray its operating costs, which are also supported by NSF.
Content
The content of the CGSC website includes information about the stock center and about how to order strains, but the meat of the website from a user perspective is a series of query pages that allow a user to hunt for strains in the CGSC collection that have a desired set of properties.
