Functional Annotation of the Mouse Genome, it will complete the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) resource of mutations for all protein coding genes. Furthermore, it will maximize the utility of the conditional IKMC resource by generating up to 250 different, mostly inducible Cre driver mouse lines. In addition, EUCOMMTOOLS will develop novel tools to enhance the versatility of the IKMC resource. EUCOMMTOOLS vectors, mutant ES cells and mutant mice are distributed worldwide: EUCOMMTOOLS mutant ES cells and vectors can be obtained from the European Mouse Mutant Cell Repository (EuMMCR). EUCOMMTOOLS mutant mice are archived and distributed by the European Mouse Mutant Archive (EMMA). Knockout-first Mutant Alleles: EUCOMMTOOLS will create 3500 C57Bl/6 conditional mutant alleles for single-exon (or otherwise previously conditionally untargeted) protein-coding mouse genes. These alleles will be made predominantly by introducing an "artificial intron", containing a standard EUCOMM promoter-driven targeting cassette, into the coding sequence of the single-exon gene. Cre Resources: EUCOMMTOOLS will engineer 500 new Cre C57Bl/6 ES cell lines by Cre knock-ins into genes with useful expression patterns. The resource will be made with inducible forms of Cre recombinase such as CreERT2. Up to 250 lines of Cre driver mice on a pure C57Bl/6N background will be generated and the Cre expression patterns documented and annotated in day P14 and P56. These mice will form a matched Cre driver resource for C57Bl/6N mice produced from conditional IKMC resources. Research, Technology and Complementary Reagents: EUCOMMTOOLS will develop novel technologies to add value, depth and flexibility to existing IKMC ES cell and mouse resources. Key areas include: * Development of novel recombinase based regulatory switches * Exploration of zinc-finger nuclease stimulated homologous recombination strategies in fertilized oocytes * Development and validation of complementary modular vector reagents which enable the construction of new useful knock-in alleles such as fluorescent and other reporters, site specific recombinases, and mutant cDNAs. These novel alleles can be constructed either by re-utilizing existing IKMC modular vector resources or directly modifying existing targeted IKMC ES cell lines by RMCE.

A portal documenting a project for the development of novel approaches in phenotyping, mutagenesis and informatics to improve the characterization of mouse models for understanding human molecular physiology and pathology. EUMORPHIA has developed a new robust primary screening platform for determining the phenotype of mice: EMPReSS - European Mouse Phenotyping Resource for Standardised Screens. The project is also focused on training new young scientists by funding them to work in a variety of laboratories to gain a broader swathe of techniques. The project has also identified the need for more trained mouse pathologists. To address this, they are setting up training courses in pathology and working at a European level to establish more training.

NIH initiative project to provide full-length open reading frame (FL-ORF) clones for human, mouse, and rat genes, cow. MGC cDNA clones were obtained by screening of cDNA libraries, by transcript-specific RT-PCR cloning, and by DNA synthesis of cDNA inserts. All MGC sequences are deposited in GenBank and clones can be purchased from distributors of IMAGE consortium. With conclusion of MGC project in March 2009, GenBank records of MGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since definition of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which they have MGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order MGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as the UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. For updated mutant information, please visit MMRRC or The Jackson Laboratory. Produces, characterizes, and distributes mutant mouse strains with defects in embryonic and postembryonic development. The goal of the ENU Mutagenesis project III is to determine the function of genes on mouse Chromosome 11 by saturating the chromosome with recessive mutations. The distal 40 cM of mouse Chr 11 exhibits linkage conservation with human Chromosome 17. We are using the chemical N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) to saturate wild type chromosomes with point mutations. By determining the function of genes on a mouse chromosome, we can extrapolate to predict function on a human chromosome. We expect many of the new mutants to represent models of human diseases such as birth defects, patterning defects, growth and endocrine defects, neurological anomalies, and blood defects. Because many of the mutations we expect to isolate may be lethal or detrimental to the mice, we are using a unique approach to isolate mutations. This approach uses a balancer chromosome that is homozygous lethal and carries a dominant coat color marker to suppress recombination over a reasonable interval.

Data resource that includes a large collection of genome-wide ChIP-Seq experiments performed on transcription factors (TFs), histone modifications, RNA polymerases and others. Enriched peak regions from the ChIP-Seq experiments are crossed with the genomic coordinates of a set of input genes, to identify which of the experiments present a statistically significant number of peaks within the input genes' loci. The input can be a cluster of co-expressed genes, or any other set of genes sharing a common regulatory profile. Users can thus single out which TFs are likely to be common regulators of the genes, and their respective correlations. Also, by examining results on promoter activation, transcription, histone modifications, polymerase binding and so on, users can investigate the effect of the TFs (activation or repression of transcription) as well as of the cell or tissue specificity of the genes' regulation and expression.
