Name:	Resource:MGI
Description:	MGI is the international database resource for the laboratory mouse, providing integrated genetic, genomic, and biological data to facilitate the study of human health and disease. Its primary mission is to facilitate the use of the mouse as a model system for understanding human biology and disease. To achieve this objective we: 1) create and maintain an integrated representation of mouse genetic, genomic, expression, and phenotype data; 2) develop definitive reference data set and consensus data views; 3) synthesize comparative genomic data between mouse and other mammals; 4) maintain a rich set of links and collaborations with other bioinformatics resources; 5) develop and support analysis and data submission tools; 6) develop user-friendly interfaces for public access to mouse genomic data; 7) provide extensive technical support for our community of database users; 8) actively participate in and coordinate with the global research community. The projects contributing to this resource are: Mouse Genome Database (MGD) Project: MGD includes data on gene characterization, nomenclature, mapping, gene homologies among mammals, sequence links, phenotypes, allelic variants and mutants, and strain data. Gene Expression Database (GXD) Project: GXD integrates different types of gene expression information from the mouse and provides a searchable index of published experiments on endogenous gene expression during development. Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) Database Project: MTB integrates data on the frequency, incidence, genetics, and pathology of neoplastic disorders, emphasizing data on tumors that develop characteristically in different genetically defined strains of mice. Gene Ontology (GO) Project at MGI: The Mouse Genome Informatics group is a founding member of the Gene Ontology Consortium (www.geneontology.org). MGI fully incorporates the GO in the database and provides a GO browser. MouseCyc Project at MGI: The MouseCyc database focuses on Mus musculus metabolism and includes cell level processes such as biosynthesis, degradation, energy production, and detoxification. It is part of the BioCyc (http://www.biocyc.org/) collection of pathway databases created at SRI International. Pathway information in MouseCyc is integrated with MGI data. See Mouse Cyc - Biochemical Pathways.
