#906Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) Workshop
 
Description:
The Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) Database provides integrated access to data on the genetics, genomics and biology of the laboratory mouse.
 
Objectives:
Topics for this class include:
  • MGI Quick Search
    • How to find a gene/marker in MGI
  • Data Integration in MGI
    • Gene, DNA marker, QTL and Cytogenetic marker descriptions
    • Genetic and physical mapping data
    • Mammalian orthology
    • Downloading and BLAST searching sequence data
    • Mouse genetic phenotypes, genetic interrelationships, and polymorphic loci
    • Polymorphic loci related to specified strains
    • Information on inbred strains (M. Festing's listing)
    • Gene function and the Gene Ontology (GO)
    • Gene expression data and images
    • Links to External Databases (Entrez, Interpro, and others)
    • Molecular probes and clones (probes, clones, primers and YACs)
    • References supporting all data in MGD
  • New Features in MGI
    • MGI's Human Disease Vocabulary Browser, providing access to OMIM human disease terms and mouse models of human disease SNP data, allowing searches for SNPS by strain or by chromosomal location
    • Mammalian Phenotype (MP) Vocabulary terms annotated to alleles in MGI
    • Origins of Inbred Mice, a new addition to MGI's selection of out-of-print books available online
    • Deltagen and Lexicon Knockout Mice and MGI Phenotypic Data
  • FAQ/Customized Q&A session
    • How to retrieve flanking sequences for genes in MGI
    • How to find clones and suppliers using MGI
    • How to find images in MGI
    • How to identify strain differences in MGI
    • How to find mouse mutants with MGI
Who should attend:
NIH biologists and geneticists that have an interest in learning about MGI
