The MGI Mouse Models for Coronavirus Research page has been redesigned. The page now features tables for mouse strains, mouse alleles, mouse genes, and human genes. jax.org/mgi-coronaviru…

MGI has integrated the latest C57BL/6J assembly, GRCm39. This includes annotations from NCBI and Ensembl, and updated coordinates for genome features, transcription start sites, and gene traps.

The Multiple Genome Viewer (informatics.jax.org/mgv/) now includes human, rat & 4 other model organism reference genomes, as well as C57BL/6J (Build 38 and 39) & 18 other mouse inbred strains. Read More: informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…

We have a new Pathways widget on Gene pages! The first of three tabs of the widget give you access to Reactome models of pathways for human gene products as well as inferred pathways for model organism genes based on orthology to human genes. reactome

We've launched a new Alliance Community Forum: community.alliancegenome.org/categories The Forum permits discussions across six model organism communities—flies, mice, yeast, rats, worms, & zebrafish. Please join in (and if you were a member of the earlier mailing list, you DO need to rejoin).

Continued funding for model organism data resources is in question. The NIH has issued a request for information (RFI) on the use of these resources grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n….

A new MGI Quick Search features tabbed results, filters, & supports genome coordinate searches: informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…

Updated MGI features: Recombinase (cre) structure search enhancements, representations of the Ensembl Regulatory Build, and enhancer elements from VISTA. Read more at informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…

MGI is a founding member of the Alliance of Genome Resources. Please help us improve the Alliance of Genome Resources by taking a very brief survey: surveymonkey.com/r/6H63GDB

MGI added non-mouse drivers to the Recombinase Activity Comparison Matrix & updated the recombinase activity section on allele detail pages. Examples: informatics.jax.org/gxd/recombinas… informatics.jax.org/allele/MGI:547…

MGI is now getting its human gene to disease associations from the Alliance of Genome Resources. This includes annotations from OMIM, RGD, NCBI, Gene Reviews, and Gene Tests, and result in a significant increase in the number of human gene to disease associations.

A new GXD Expression Profile Search allows users to define an expression profile by specifying structures and whether expression is present or absent in these structures. It appears as a tab on the Gene Expression Data Query: informatics.jax.org/gxd/profile.

The Global Biodata Coalition (GBC) includes MGD among its initial list of essential resources.

MGI is now supporting the more secure HTTPS protocol. To read more: informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…

MGI QTL Detail Pages now include candidate genes and QTL interactions. Read more: informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…

Got thoughts on the Alliance? Share them with us by taking the 2023 Alliance User Survey! We've added a question this year especially for our model organism database users; if that's you, give us your thoughts! Survey: surveymonkey.com/r/6H63GDB (link is on every Alliance page).

MGI has improved its representation of the pseudoautosomal region (PAR). Read more: informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…

MGI has produced two new weekly reports for disease models. Read more: community.alliancegenome.org/t/two-new-dise…

We added a tool to find related terms in the Human Phenotype Ontology and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology, and add them to a Human - Mouse: Disease Connection query. Read more: informatics.jax.org/mgihome/news/w…
