The Mouse Phenome Project
The purpose of this project is to establish a collection of baseline
phenotypic data on commonly used and genetically diverse inbred
mouse strains through a coordinated international effort. The information
will be incorporated into the Mouse Phenome Database and will enable
investigators to identify appropriate strains for: physiological
testing; drug discovery; toxicology studies; mutagenesis; disease
onset and susceptibility; new models of human disease; QTL analyses
and identification of new genes; and unraveling the influence of
environment on genotype. For additional information about this project,
