What should show up in this report?

The following appear on an All Images for Allele report:

• Images of mice that carry the allele of interest. Click each image to see its Image Detail report.
• A caption about the allele for each image and information about the genotype involving the allele.
• Links from the Allelic Composition column to Phenotypic Allele Detail reports for data about additional genotypes involving this allele.

How do I access this report?

To access an All Images for Allele report:

1. Use the Phenotypes, Alleles, and Disease Models Query Form to search for an allele. The Phenotypic Alleles Query Results -- Summary report appears.
2. Click an allele on the Summary report. The Phenotypic Allele Detail report appears.
3. If there are multiple images for this allele or phenotype, the phrase Show all images involving this allele appears at the bottom left of the (primary) image. Click all images to access the All Images for Allele report.

Caption	Brief description of the mouse/mice displayed in the image.
Genotypes involving this allele (These fields may not contain information if the image is only associated with an allele and not a genotype.)	Allelic Composition Allele pairs that contribute to the genotype and the mouse strain background. Each allele is linked to its corresponding Phenotypic Allele Detail report. Genetic Background Strain(s) involved in the genotype, if known.
