Mutations in whole organisms are powerful ways of interrogating gene function in a realistic context. We describe a program, the Sanger Institute Mouse Genetics Project, that provides a step toward the aim of knocking out all genes and screening each line for a broad range of traits. We found that hitherto unpublished genes were as likely to reveal phenotypes as known genes, suggesting that novel genes represent a rich resource for investigating the molecular basis of disease. We found many unexpected phenotypes detected only because we screened for them, emphasizing the value of screening all mutants for a wide range of traits. Haploinsufficiency and pleiotropy were both surprisingly common. Forty-two percent of genes were essential for viability, and these were less likely to have a paralog and more likely to contribute to a protein complex than other genes. Phenotypic data and more than 900 mutants are openly available for further analysis. PAPERCLIP:

Data set of collected and annotated expression and activity data for recombinase-containing transgenes and knock-in alleles. As the authoritative source of official names for mouse genes, alleles, and strains, MGI makes this list of transgenes available as a service and includes all known transgenes and synonyms. NIF provides a database interface so that researchers may have a better idea whether the trangene or transgenic animal that they are searching for is available.
Nomenclature follows the rules and guidelines established by the International Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for Mice.
Wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 19 million articles (over 3.6 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site. As of July 2011, there were editions of Wikipedia in 282 languages. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has become the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet, ranking around seventh among all websites on Alexa and having 365 million readers. The name Wikipedia was coined by Larry Sanger and is a combination of wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning quick) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia''s departure from the expert-driven style of encyclopedia building and the large presence of unacademic content has been noted several times. Some have noted the importance of Wikipedia not only as an encyclopedic reference but also as a frequently updated news resource because of how quickly articles about recent events appear. Although the policies of Wikipedia strongly espouse verifiability and a neutral point of view, critics of Wikipedia accuse it of systemic bias and inconsistencies (including undue weight given to popular culture), and allege that it favors consensus over credentials in its editorial processes. Its reliability and accuracy are also targeted. A 2005 investigation in Nature showed that the science articles they compared came close to the level of accuracy of Encyclopedia Britannica and had a similar rate of serious errors.
View all literature mentionsDatabase of the international consortium working together to mutate all protein-coding genes in the mouse using a combination of gene trapping and gene targeting in C57BL/6 mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Detailed information on targeted genes is available. The IKMC includes the following programs: * Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP) (USA) ** CSD, a collaborative team at the Children''''s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI), the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine , led by Pieter deJong, Ph.D., CHORI, along with K. C. Kent Lloyd, D.V.M., Ph.D., UC Davis; and Allan Bradley, Ph.D. FRS, and William Skarnes, Ph.D., at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. ** Regeneron, a team at the VelociGene division of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., led by David Valenzuela, Ph.D. and George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D. * European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Program (EUCOMM) (Europe) * North American Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Project (NorCOMM) (Canada) * Texas A&M Institute for Genomic Medicine (TIGM) (USA) Products (vectors, mice, ES cell lines) may be ordered from the above programs.
View all literature mentionsA web-based tool that accepts as input a list of genes, and returns a list of GO attributes that are over- (or under-) represented among the genes in the input list. Only those over- (or under-) representations that are statistically significant, after correcting for multiple hypotheses testing, are reported. Currently 37 organisms are supported. In addition to the input list of genes, users may specify a) whether this list should be regarded as ordered or unordered; b) the universe of genes to be considered by FuncAssociate; c) whether to report over-, or under-represented attributes, or both; and d) the p-value cutoff. A new version of FuncAssociate supports a wider range of naming schemes for input genes, and uses more frequently updated GO associations. However, some features of the original version, such as sorting by LOD or the option to see the gene-attribute table, are not yet implemented. Platform: Online tool
View all literature mentionsDatabase of mouse research resources at Sanger: BACs, targeting vectors, targeted ES cells, mutant mouse lines, and phenotypic data generated from the Institute''''s primary screen. The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute generates, characterizes, and uses a variety of reagents for mouse genetics research. It also aims to facilitate the distribution of these resources to the external scientific community. Here, you will find unified access to the different resources available from the Institute or its collaborators. The resources include: 129S7 and C57BL6/J bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), MICER gene targeting vectors, knock-out first conditional-ready gene targeting vectors, embryonic stem (ES) cells with gene targeted mutations or with retroviral gene trap insertions, mutant mouse lines, and phenotypic data generated from the Institute''''s primary screen.
View all literature mentionsRepository of mouse vectors, ES cells, mice, embryos, and sperm generated by NIH KOMP Mutagenesis Project. In addition, KOMP Repository offers services in support of KOMP products, including ES cell microinjection, vector cloning, post-insertional modification of cloned ES cells, cryopreservation, assisted reproduction techniques (IVF, ICSI) and mouse breeding, pathology services, phenotyping services, etc. KOMP Repository is final component of more than $50 million trans-NIH initiative to increase availability of genetically altered mice and related materials. The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and Children''s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) in Oakland, Calif., are collaborating to preserve, protect, and make available about 8,500 types of knockout mice and related products available to research community. Products are generated by two KOMP mutagenesis teams (CSD consortium and Regeneron Inc). All KOMP products generated by CSD consortium and Regeneron are available through KOMP Repository. Notice as of December 19, 2019: Materials from KOMP Repository have been deposited into MMRRC, including all mouse models and mouse embryonic stem cell lines. Eventually www.komp.org will be sunsetting, and IMSR will remove KOMP Repository listings, since they were double listed in MMRRC. MMRRC will contain the most accurate and up to date resource models.

View all literature mentionsHarvester is a Web-based tool that bulk-collects bioinformatic data on human proteins from various databases and prediction servers. It is a meta search engine for gene and protein information. It searches 16 major databases and prediction servers and combines the results on pregenerated HTML pages. In this way Harvester can provide comprehensive gene-protein information from different servers in a convenient and fast manner. As full text meta search engine, similar to Google trade mark, Harvester allows screening of the whole genome proteome for current protein functions and predictions in a few seconds. With Harvester it is now possible to compare and check the quality of different database entries and prediction algorithms on a single page.
