Abstract
The Mouse Genome Database (MGD) is one component of the Mouse Genome
Informatics (MGI) system (http://www.informatics.jax.org), a community
database resource for the laboratory mouse. MGD strives to provide
a comprehensive knowledgebase about the mouse with experiments and
data annotated from both literature and online sources. MGD curates
and presents consensus and experimental data representations of genetic,
genotype (sequence) and phenotype information including highly detailed
reports about genes and gene products. Primary foci of integration
are through representations of relationships between genes, sequences
and phenotypes. MGD collaborates with other bioinformatics groups
to curate a definitive set of information about the laboratory mouse
and to build and implement the data and semantic standards that are
essential for comparative genome analysis. Recent developments in
MGD discussed here include an extensive integration of the mouse
sequence data and substantial revisions in the presentation, query
and visualization of sequence data.
