The NF Research Tools Database aims to support the development of a robust research toolkit and lower the barrier of entry to neurofibromatosis (NF) research. The database includes NF-associated animal models, cell lines, antibodies, and genetic reagents and details on tool characteristics and sourcing, as well as observational and experimental data.
We allow contributions of information about any animal models, cell lines, antibodies, genetic reagents, and biobanks that are related to the study of neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2, or schwannomatosis.
Information has been generously contributed by the research community and has also been aggregated from several research resource catalogs. Please see below for information on who has provided information and important information about citing this and upstream resources:
Citing the NF Research Tools Database
