A mouse phenome project
Summary
This study established baseline phenotypic data for common mouse strains. The information is now available in a public database for researchers.
Area of Science:
- * Genetics and Genomics
- * Animal Models
- * Phenotyping
Background:
- * Inbred mouse strains are crucial models in biomedical research.
- * Standardized phenotypic data is essential for reproducible studies.
- * Genomic diversity among mouse strains impacts research outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- * To create a comprehensive, community-driven resource of mouse strain phenotypic data.
- * To establish baseline phenotypic profiles for widely used inbred mouse strains.
- * To ensure data accessibility for the broader scientific community.
Main Methods:
- * Community-wide collaborative effort involving multiple research institutions.
- * Systematic collection and curation of phenotypic data across diverse mouse strains.
- * Development of a publicly accessible online database for data dissemination.
Main Results:
- * Established baseline phenotypic data for numerous inbred mouse strains.
- * Successfully launched a publicly accessible database housing this information.
- * Facilitated data sharing and comparison across different mouse models.
Conclusions:
- * The established database serves as a valuable resource for mouse model selection and research design.
- * This initiative promotes standardization and enhances the reproducibility of studies using inbred mouse strains.
- * Accessible phenotypic data empowers researchers to better understand genotype-phenotype relationships.

02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
