1Clinical Research Centre, Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, Middlesex, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
A mouse malformation mutant supplement to the London Dysmorphology Database is described. Using a microcomputer, the mouse malformation database can be searched by asking for all mutants with a specific combination of physical abnormalities. The database is available free to interested researchers on receipt of two 5 1/4" floppy disks.
Insights
A new mouse malformation mutant database is available to researchers. This resource allows searching for specific combinations of physical abnormalities in mouse models, aiding genetic research.
Area of Science:
- Developmental Biology
- Genetics
- Bioinformatics
Background:
- The London Dysmorphology Database is a key resource for human genetic disorders.
- Mouse models are crucial for understanding human disease genetics and developmental abnormalities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a new supplementary database focused on mouse malformation mutants.
- To provide a searchable resource for researchers studying genetic causes of physical abnormalities in mice.
Main Methods:
- Development of a microcomputer-based database.
- Implementation of search functionalities for specific combinations of physical abnormalities.
Main Results:
- A functional database of mouse malformation mutants has been created.
- The database enables targeted retrieval of mutants based on phenotypic traits.
Conclusions:
- This database serves as a valuable, free resource for the scientific community.
- Facilitates research into genotype-phenotype correlations in mouse models.
