The mouse inbred line C57BL/6J is widely used in mouse genetics and its genome has been incorporated into many genetic reference populations. More recently large initiatives such as the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) are using the C57BL/6N mouse strain to generate null alleles for all mouse genes. Hence both strains are now widely used in mouse genetics studies. Here we perform a comprehensive genomic and phenotypic analysis of the two strains to identify differences that may influence their underlying genetic mechanisms.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


dbSNP (tool)

RRID:SCR_002338

Database as central repository for both single base nucleotide substitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Distinguishes report of how to assay SNP from use of that SNP with individuals and populations. This separation simplifies some issues of data representation. However, these initial reports describing how to assay SNP will often be accompanied by SNP experiments measuring allele occurrence in individuals and populations. Community can contribute to this resource.

Primer3 (tool)

RRID:SCR_003139

Tool used to design PCR primers from DNA sequence - often in high-throughput genomics applications. It does everything from mispriming libraries to sequence quality data to the generation of internal oligos.

NGS-SNP (tool)

RRID:SCR_005182

A collection of command-line scripts for providing rich annotations for SNPs identified by the sequencing of transcripts or whole genomes from organisms with reference sequences in Ensembl. Included among the annotations, several of which are not available from any existing SNP annotation tools, are the results of detailed comparisons with orthologous sequences. These comparisons allow, for example, SNPs to be sorted or filtered based on how drastically the SNP changes the score of a protein alignment. Other fields indicate the names of overlapping protein domains or features, and the conservation of both the SNP site and flanking regions. NCBI, Ensembl, and Uniprot IDs are provided for genes, transcripts, and proteins when applicable, along with Gene Ontology terms, a gene description, phenotypes linked to the gene, and an indication of whether the SNP is novel or known. A ?Model_Annotations? field provides several annotations obtained by transferring in silico the SNP to an orthologous gene, typically in a well-characterized species.
