Are You Interested in a Particular Gene
The IMPC is creating knockout mouse lines for every single protein coding gene in the mouse genome, and characterising them through standardised, quality-controlled phenotyping tests.
See the phenotypes for thousands of gene knockouts. Free database includes raw data, statistics, images, disease associations and interactive embryo viewer at http://www.mousephenotype.org

Advancing Disease Modeling in Animal-Based Research in Support of Precision Medicine
Precision medicine is poised to revolutionize how we treat illness by basing therapeutic decisions on an individual’s molecular characteristics of disease, environmental factors and variables associated with individual lifestyle and behavior. As the field moves toward treating the individual, this workshop will consider ways in which relevant information can be obtained from the development and study of disease models in animals that are guided by individual patient data. Researchers, veterinarians, bioethicists, clinicians and patient advocates will examine the path toward creating and using animal models to support precision medicine.
This workshop, which will be held on October 5-6, 2017 in Washington, DC, is FREE and open to the public, and we invite you to join us in person or via a free, internationally-streamed webcast.

NIH Renews Knockout Mouse Program (KOMP)
The Mouse Biology Program (MBP), has been awarded over $29 million from the National Institutes of Health under the next five-year phase of the Knockout Mouse Project, or KOMP. The MBP at UC Davis is the lead organization in a consortium involving research partners at The Centre for Phenogenomics in Toronto, Canada; the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, or CHORI; and Charles River Laboratories in Wilmington, Massachusetts.
The goal of this phase of the Knockout Mouse Project is to produce and phenotype knockout mouse models for up to 1,000 genes in an effort to better understand the genetic basis for diseases in humans and animals, said principal investigator Kent Lloyd, professor in the Department of Surgery in the UC Davis School of Medicine, and director of the UC Davis Mouse Biology Program
