- February 21, 2008: Website and Navigation Redesign for MGI 4.0
- The MGI website has a new design! Take a quick tour of the major changes:
- Click the horizontal navigaton bar to see drop-down menu options.
- Click Search-->All Search Tools for a complete list of all available search forms.
- New MGI content pages replace menu pages. Click:
- Genes for Genes, Genome Features & Maps
- Phenotypes for Phenotypes, Alleles & Disease Models
- Expression for the Gene Expression Database (GXD)
- Function for Functional Annotation using the Gene Ontology (GO)
- Strains for Strains, SNPs & Polymorphisms
- Orthology for Mammalian Orthology
- Tumor for Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB).
- The MGI homepage and all content pages include Frequently Asked Questions.
See More FAQs for a complete list.
- There is an extensive list of database content statistics.
See MGI Includes.
- New on-line book
Biology
of the Laboratory Mouse (by the Staff of The Jackson Laboratory, E. Green, ed. 1966, Dover Publications, New York) joins MGI's collection of electronic books.
- MouseCyc - the link to Pathways
Biochemical Pathways provides access to the MouseCyc database of curated metabolic biochemical pathways, including biosynthesis, degradation, energy production, and detoxification. Here users can find mouse genetic and genomic data in the context of physiological and cellular processes integrated with the knowledge base of MGI.
- Phenotype form redesign
The Phenotype Data Submission Form is for describing (and submitting) new or additional characteristics of spontaneous, induced, or genetically engineered mutations found in MGI.
October 10, 2007: GXD update
The Gene Expression Database (GXD) is pleased to announce the inclusion of in situ hybridization data from Dr. Gregor Eichele of the GenePaint database (www.genepaint.org; Visel A; Thaller C; Eichele G. GenePaint.org: an atlas of gene expression patterns in the mouse embryo. 2004. Nucleic Acids Research 32(Database issue):D552-6).
You can view the data set at accession number
J:122989. This set includes over 69,000 results for:
- 745 genes
- 1397 probes
- 748 assays (in situ hybridizations at E14.5)
- 10585 images
Some useful links for querying subsets of data in GXD and MGI are:
If you are interested in submitting your data to GXD, please see our guidelines for submitting expression data to the Gene Expression Database or contact GEN@informatics.jax.org for further information.
August 6, 2007
A revised version of the Rules and Guidelines for Nomenclature of Mouse and Rat Strains is now available. Most notably, the International Committee on Standardized Nomenclature for Mice added a section on nomenclature for Outbreds and Closed Colonies. The previous version of this document is archived for your reference.
