Mouse Genome Informatics. Mouse Genome Informatics ( MGI) is a free, online database and bioinformatics resource hosted by The Jackson Laboratory, with funding by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development ...
The Mouse Genetics Project (MGP) is a large-scale mutant mouse production and phenotyping programme aimed at identifying new model organisms of disease. Based at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, the project uses knockout mice most of which were generated by the International Knockout Mouse Consortium.
Knockout mouse. A knockout mouse, or knock-out mouse, is a genetically modified mouse ( Mus musculus) in which researchers have inactivated, or "knocked out", an existing gene by replacing it or disrupting it with an artificial piece of DNA. They are important animal models for studying the role of genes which have been sequenced but whose ...
A genetically modified mouse or genetically engineered mouse model ( GEMM) [1] is a mouse ( Mus musculus) that has had its genome altered through the use of genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modified mice are commonly used for research or as animal models of human diseases and are also used for research on genes.
The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) is an international scientific endeavour to create and characterize the phenotype of 20,000 knockout mouse strains. [1] [2] [3] Launched in September 2011, [1] the consortium consists of over 15 research institutes across four continents with funding provided by the NIH, European national ...
The Vertebrate Genome Annotation ( VEGA) database is a biological database dedicated to assisting researchers in locating specific areas of the genome and annotating genes or regions of vertebrate genomes. [1] The VEGA browser is based on Ensembl web code and infrastructure and provides a public curation of known vertebrate genes for the ...
Consensus CDS Project. The Consensus Coding Sequence (CCDS) Project is a collaborative effort to maintain a dataset of protein-coding regions that are identically annotated on the human and mouse reference genome assemblies. The CCDS project tracks identical protein annotations on the reference mouse and human genomes with a stable identifier ...
The Mouse Models of Human Cancer database (MMHCdb) is a unique, comprehensive online knowledgebase of mouse models of human cancer hosted by The Jackson Laboratory with funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). [3] MMHCdb is part of the Mouse Genome Informatics consortium (MGI) and was first released in 1998 as the Mouse Tumor Biology ...
