MGI Alleles and Phenotypes

The Phenotypes, Alleles & Disease Models project in MGI enables comparative phenotype analysis, searches for human disease models, and hypothesis generation by providing access to spontaneous, induced, and genetically engineered mutations and their strain-specific phenotypes.

This track data is updated weekly every Monday

Alleles

A primary objective for MGI is the maintenance of a complete catalog of phenotypic mutations in the laboratory mouse. These include spontaneous, induced, and genetically engineered mutations (targeted knockouts and conditionals, transgenics, Cre-constructs, targeted reporters, gene traps, transposon-induced mutations, etc.).

MGI serves as the international authoritative source for nomenclature for mouse alleles, and maintains a complete list of allele symbols, names, and synonyms, each with a unique accession ID. Researchers are encouraged to submit new alleles to reserve symbols and obtain accession IDs prior to publication.

A complete listing of alleles can be downloaded from the ftp site (http://www.informatics.jax.org/downloads/reports/index.html#pheno).
