(Germantown, NY, USA) and Artemis Pharmaceuticals GmbH
(Cologne, Germany) today announced the formation of a strategic alliance for
the generation, marketing and delivery of genetically engineered mice. Historically, researchers have applied ink to animals' paws and
measured the distances between paw prints; these measurements , however, are
often difficult to discern, and are confounded by the variable speeds at which
the animals walk. This enables more precise and accurate assessment of
gait in animal models of human diseases and provides better interpretation of
their causes and treatment. Hampton added, "The issuance of the patent promises
to our customers the best gait analysis technology to indicate the causes of
gait disturbances and the effects of new drugs in animal models of human
diseases.

"The alliance marks an important step in Taconic's continuing
commitment to provide easy access to transgenic technologies . Since then, the company has become one of the
largest laboratory rodent providers in the world with a reputation for
consistently producing high quality, well-defined rats and mice.m. 6,899,686, entitled
