Kunming wild animal cell bank，the Chinese Academy of Science (Kunming cell bank), was established in 1986. So far, we have preserved 1455 cell lines from 298 animal species (4 insects, 24 fishes, 17 amphibians and reptiles, 25 birds, 228 mammals). Besides animal cell lines, we have also preserved about 1200 pieces of tissues from over 200 animal species, 45 sets animal chromosome-specific probes and bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and fosmid libraries from four animals.
