Genes, Genome Features & Maps
MGI provides access to integrated data on mouse genes and genome features, from sequences and genomic maps to gene expression and disease models.
Access Data
Search for genes and genome features by symbol, name, location, gene ontology classification or phenotype.
Genes & Markers Query
Search for sequences by mouse strain or biological attribute.
Sequence Query
Use BLAST to search for mouse genes and genome features using nucleotide or protein sequences.
MouseBLAST
Search genetic mapping data and create genetic maps.
Graphical Map Tools
Create a display of regions of the mouse genome.
Mouse Genome Browser
Input a list of gene IDs or symbols and retrieve other database IDs and gene attributes (e.g. phenotypes, GO).
Batch Query
Download plain text files of all genes and markers in MGI.
Genes & Markers Reports (plain text)
Read the guidelines for mouse gene nomenclature.
Complete Guide to Nomenclature
Submit a new gene or genome feature and receive official nomenclature and an MGI accession identifier.

Genes, Genome Features

MGI contains information about mouse genes, DNA segments, cytogenetic markers and QTLs. Each record may include the marker symbol, name, other names or symbols and synonyms, nomenclature history, alleles, STSs, chromosomal assignment, centimorgan location, cytogenetic band, EC number (for enzymes), phenotypic classifications, human disease data, Gene Ontology (GO) terms, MGI accession IDs and supporting references. See Using the Marker Summary Report and Using the Marker Detail Report for more information about the content of the display of a marker record as it appears in the query results.

Maps

MGI contains a variety of maps and mapping data. Users can create graphical displays of genome features on the mouse genome using Mouse Genome Browser, build a Mouse Linkage Map with Orthologs, or view Cytogenetic Maps or Physical Maps. A variety of types of Genetic Mapping Data are available and searchable, including data from genetic linkage crosses, cytogenetic localization, recombinant inbred and recombinant congenic strains, and radiation hybrid mapping.
