A collaborative database of inbred mouse strain characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED A database and website (MPD: Mouse Phenome Database) have been developed to serve as a consolidated home for mouse strain characterization data being generated by the scientific community. Physiological, anatomical and behavioral data are being collected and integrated into a common framework for tabulation by strain and sex. Genotypic data are being collected as well. The current focus is on a set of 40 inbred strains. The MPD as of February 2004 contains approximately 500 phenotypic parameters relevant to human health, voluntarily contributed by several dozen investigators and laboratories.

Virulence assessment of a Neospora caninum isolate for inbred C57BL/6 mouse
Neospora caninum (N. caninum) is an apicomplexan parasite and causes abortion and congenital neosporosis in cattle worldwide. In this study, we evaluate the virulence of a N. caninum isolate on mouse strain C57BL/6. Six groups of five mice C57BL/6 were intraperitoneally inoculated with 1 × l07, 1.5 × l07, 2 × l07, 3 × l07 and 4 × l07 tachyzoites and a control inoculum of DMEM, respectively. Cli...
متن کاملInbred Strain Variant Database (ISVdb): A Repository for Probabilistically Informed Sequence Differences Among the Collaborative Cross Strains and Their Founders
The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a panel of recently established multiparental recombinant inbred mouse strains. For the CC, as for any multiparental population (MPP), effective experimental design and analysis benefit from detailed knowledge of the genetic differences between strains. Such differences can be directly determined by sequencing, but until now whole-genome sequencing was not public...
متن کاملEffects of Mouse Strain on Establishment of Embryonic Stem Cell Lines
Purpose: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts with self-renewal and pluripotency characteristics. These cells have potential for studies of in vitro differentiation, gene function, etc. This study was, therefore, initiated to establish new ES lines and evaluate the effects of strain on ES cell production. Materials and Methods: 3-5 day blastocysts were ...
متن کاملComparison of sequence variants in transcriptomic control regions across 17 mouse genomes
The laboratory mouse is the most widely used mammalian model organism in biomedical research, so a thorough annotation of functional variation in the mouse genome would be of significant value. In this study, we compared sequence variation in a comprehensive list of functional elements (e.g. promoters, enhancers and CTCF binding sites) across 17 inbred mouse strains. Sequences were derived for ...
متن کاملKaryotype of NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of laboratory mice (Mus musculus)
The laboratory mouse is recognized as the pre-eminent model for genetic research. Awareness of chromosomal patterns of experimental animals increases their value for a variety of different fields of study. We aimed to study mitotic chromosome preparations from NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of mice, which are outbred, inbred and partially inbred laboratory mice respectively. Bone marrow cells we...
