Taxonomic coverage
Mus musculus. Laboratory mouse, various strains.
Scope: data types captured, curation policy, standards used
Data types captured: 1) phenotype strain survey data; 2) genotype variation data;
3) gene expression strain survey data. All data must serve to characterize mouse
strains and differences between strains.
Curation policy: Data submitted by community investigators in Excel spreadsheets or downloaded by us from open
public sources. We curate data into a common framework by standardizing mouse strain nomenclature, standardizing
units (SI where feasible),
evaluating (completeness, statistical power, quality), categorizing phenotype data and
linking to ontologies, conformance to internal style guide for titles, tags, and descriptions, and creation of
comprehensive protocol documentation. Peer review publication is encouraged but not required.
Criteria for evaluating phenotype strain survey data sets:
