DO-AS cohort data

Phenotype and RNAseq data from approx. 200 (B6-Col4a5 KO x DO)F1 mice

I-ATAC

ATAC-seq is a new protocol to capture open chromatin sites by performing adaptor ligation and fragmentation of open chromatin regions. Due to its efficiency in requirement of biological sample and in library preparation time, many scientists are generating ATAC-seq libraries to decipher the chromatin landscape of DNA in a given cell type and condition of interest.

Biology of Beta Cell Consortium

NOD-scid IL2rgnull (NSG) and NOD-Rag1null IL2rgnull (NRG) mice support heightened levels of engraftment with human cells and tissues. These engrafted mice allow research on human disease processes without putting individuals at risk.

Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP)

Scientists around the world are working to generate a targeted knockout mutation for every gene in the mouse genome through the Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP) which is providing critical tools for understanding gene function and the genetic causes of human diseases.

Mouse Mutant Resource

Mice harboring spontaneous mutations have long been a major source for animal models of human genetic disorders, particularly mendelian diseases. The Mouse Mutant Resource maintains over 700 established mutant strains.

Special Mouse Strains Resource

The SMSR maintains mice that are important tools for genetic analysis of complex diseases, including consomic strains.

WORMHOLE

The WORM Human OrthoLogy Explorer is a meta-tool that uses machine learning to predict novel least diverged orthologs (LDOs) by integrating ortholog predictions from 17 algorithms.
