MMRDB

The Mouse Mutant Database provides access to aggregated, annotated variant calls generated from high throughput sequencing of these strains with an emphasis on strains harboring recently acquired mutations that cause Mendelian disease phenotypes. Our V.2 dataset currently encompasses over 33.5 million SNP and INDEL variants and 11.6 million structural variants from ~450 samples representing more than 350 unique mouse strains.

SIP

The Study Intake Platform (SIP) was created by the Mouse Phenome Database (MPD) team for phenomic data curation and has expanded to be an all-purpose data curation and study intake interface. SIP accepts quantitative trait baseline characterizations, diet studies, drug and alcohol studies, aging studies, challenge / pathogen studies, and more. Data from inbred strains and their derivatives are included such as recombinant inbred, F1 hybrid, and chromosome substitution strains, and also special panels such as Collaborative Cross and Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel. Data from populations such as Diversity Outbred (DO) mice are also accepted.

DIVERSITY INFORMATICS PLATFORM (DivDB)

The Diversity Informatics Platform is powered by DiversityDB, a database with a dedicated API that provides access to genotype and phenotype data from experiments with Diversity Outbred mice. Data can be searched by publication, investigator, and data type and can be downloaded in zipped CSV or R/QTL2 formats. Users can download full datasets or a subset of samples, genotypes, clinical phenotypes and molecular phenotypes including transcript, proteomic, and metabolomic profiling data.

HaploQA

HaploQA is a software platform that provides interpretation of genotype calls from the Mouse Universal Genotyping array platforms (including Mega-/Giga- MUGA) that are available from Neogen Genomics (Morgan et al., 2015). The software allows for direct upload of sample and genotype data, sample annotation, and organization by users. The software interprets genotype calls and uses established Hidden Markov Models that were generated by Dr. Gary Churchill’s laboratory to generate haplotypes with negative log likelihood scoring. There are additional options for interfacing with the data through a web-based graphics, links out to widely used genome browsers, data/image/report downloads, and options for making the data public.

The goal of the Mouse Phenome Project is to support biomedical research by delivering a widely accessed and highly functional data repository for well-documented disease relevant phenotypic data from heterogeneous mouse populations. The Mouse Phenome Database (MPD, https://phenome.jax.org), addresses the emerging needs of the biomedical research community by annotating data, making it available through a FAIR-compliant public repository, and provide tools that enable users to visualize, analyze, and download primary and summary data. Our objectives are to provide a central repository for data, documentation, and protocols, offering a unique and important venue for investigators needing to make their data public; to continually refine and develop tools and features to best locate, present, and analyze those datasets; and to maintain, enhance, and promote this resource to further enable quantitative, standardized and predictive phenotype studies and, in turn facilitate new scientific advances.
