These Brainbow 1.0 (founder line L) mice allow labeling of individual neuronal types (specifically hippocampal neuron cell bodies, and including motor neurons, dentate gyrus granule cells, pyramidal neurons of the cortex and CA1 area) with approximately 166 distinguishable color variations in cre recombined cells, and may also be useful in conjunction with other Brainbow strains (Stock No. 007901, Stock No. 007911, Stock No. 007921) for neurobiological studies. These Thy1-Brainbow 1.0 (line L) transgenic mice are viable and fertile. The mice possess multiple fluorescent protein sequences uniquely flanked with pairs of incompatible Lox sites alternated to create mutually exclusive recombination events; allowing stochastic expression of multiple fluorescent proteins from a single transgene. Prior to Cre-mediated recombination, the fluorescent protein immediately adjacent to the promoter, dTomato (RFP), is expressed in peripheral and central neurons. When bred to Cre recombinase expressing mice, the resulting offspring can have one of three expression outcomes for each transgene in each cell of the cre expressing tissue(s): dTomato (RFP) (no recombination), mCerulean (CFP), or mYFP. Integration of tandem transgene copies yields combinatorial fluorescent protein expression in each cell, and thus many possible cell colors, providing a way to distinguish adjacent neurons and visualize other cellular interactions. Of note, the single FRT site inserted in the transgene allows tandem transgene copy number reduction through Flp-mediated recombination if desired. These Brainbow 1.0 (founder line L) mice were found to have multiple transgene copies that allow labeling of individual neuronal types (specifically hippocampal neuron cell bodies, and including motor neurons, dentate gyrus granule cells, pyramidal neurons of the cortex and CA1 area) with approximately 166 distinguishable color variations in cre recombined cells, and may also be useful in conjunction with other Brainbow strains (Stock No. 007901, Stock No. 007911, Stock No. 007921) for neurobiological studies.

Curated public database for autism research built on information extracted from the studies on molecular genetics and biology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The genetic information includes data from linkage and association studies, cytogenetic abnormalities, and specific mutations associated with ASD. New gene submissions are welcome. Modules: * Human Gene: thoroughly annotated list of genes that have been studied in the context of autism, with information on the genes themselves, relevant references from the literature, and the nature of the evidence. Uniquely, SFARI Gene incorporates information on both common and rare variants. * Animal Model: information about lines of genetically modified mice that represent potential models of autism. This information includes the nature of the targeting construct, the background strain and, most importantly, a thorough summary of the phenotypic features of the mice that are most relevant to autism. * Protein Interaction (PIN): compilation of all known direct protein interactions for those gene products implicated in autism. It presents both graphical and tabular views of interactomes, highlighting connections between autism candidate genes. Each protein interaction is manually verified by consultation with the primary reference. * Copy Number Variant (CNV): a parallel resource providing genetic information about all known copy number variants linked to autism. * Gene Scoring: includes a "score" for each autism candidate gene, based on an assessment of the strength of human genetic evidence.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Time-series data sets spanning twelve time-points between E12-P9 for exploring cerebellar development of the mouse in time and space. The database contains a number of mutant / wildtype microarray datasets including two complete wildtype microarray time-series (C57BL/6 and DBA/2J). The dataset also includes in situ hybridization and bioinformatic analyses. Exploration of this dataset will allow the investigator to assess differential gene expression profiles from a developing mutant cerebella, to assess the temporal changes in gene expression in the wildtype, and to verify the cellular expression of these genes in images from our in situ hybridization library. Using the database, the investigator can explore the developmental expression or differential expression patterns of a particular gene, or create lists of similarly expression genes by building simple search algorithms. These lists can then be mined across all the datasets in both space and time. Cb GRiTS's current datasets represent gene expression analyses from multiple cerebellar mutant and wildtype single time-point and developmental series.

http://mousecyc.jax.org/

A manually curated database of both known and predicted metabolic pathways for the laboratory mouse. It has been integrated with genetic and genomic data for the laboratory mouse available from the Mouse Genome Informatics database and with pathway data from other organisms, including human. The database records for 1,060 genes in Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) are linked directly to 294 pathways with 1,790 compounds and 1,122 enzymatic reactions in MouseCyc. (Aug. 2013) BLAST and other tools are available. The initial focus for the development of MouseCyc is on metabolism and includes such cell level processes as biosynthesis, degradation, energy production, and detoxification. MouseCyc differs from existing pathway databases and software tools because of the extent to which the pathway information in MouseCyc is integrated with the wealth of biological knowledge for the laboratory mouse that is available from the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database.
