View earlier news items


March 2021: Field Length Limitation in Database was removed. MPD single measure, repeated, and multicohort analytics should be enabled (in their current state) for any measure that has 2 strains and up. Exclude informational measures from sample sizes view.

17 Nov 2020: Navigation: the toolbar for phenotype display and analysis is now available directly below the blue table of measures on many pages in the application. Select measure checkboxes then scroll down and apply the desired tool.

17 Nov 2020: New 'Compare Measure Metadata' tool.

14 Sep 2020:   We've released a large data and functionality package: Multisystem phenotyping of KOMP strains and C57BL/6NJ controls. JaxKOMP-EAP (early adult, 1800+ genotypes and 360+ phenotypes) and JaxKOMP-LAP (late adult, 175+ genotypes and 280+ phenotypes). Phenotyping and data collection are ongoing; updates will be done here periodically.

2 July 2020:   We've upgraded our facilities for signing in to MyMPD. Most non-Jax users should be able to use their existing MyMPD credentials but if not you can either register again or contact us for assistance. Jax users must now use the "Continue with Jax Single Sign On" button.

19 Mar 2020:   We have updated the pyLMM tool to omit SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF) < 0.05. This will therefore reduce the number of SNPs in the analysis but avoid spurious peaks.

21 Oct 2019:   Animal IDs were modified in 50 MPD projects, so that animal IDs are now unique within a project. Original IDs were retained and a qualifier was appended where necessary.

19 Aug 2019:   PyLMM GWAS analyses have been added.

31 May 2019:   Ontology navigation has been added.

31 May 2019:   Some new API endpoints have been added.

11 Mar 2019:   Various new data sets (see list below) and functionality improvements.

30 Jan 2019:   A new visualization is available for DO phenotype measures... here's an example. A new Ratios and Differences View is now available via the phenotype tools page.

27 Nov 2018:   A new Curves Comparison View is now present on measure series views and via the phenotype tools page.

27 Nov 2018:   MPD's individual strain pages link to MGI's new strain pages.

12 Oct 2018:   Data for a number of new compounds has been added to MPD's portal (ITP1) for National Institute on Aging's Interventions Testing Program (effects of various treatments on lifespan and related phenotypes).


07 Aug 2018:   A new Multivariate Outlier Detection tool has been added. Available via the phenotype tools page. See our statistical analysis glossary for more info.

24 July 2018:   Various new data sets (see list below) and functionality improvements.

24 April 2018:   A new updated phenotype tool has been added. From the phenotype tools page click on either the "Strain means table and downloads" or "Find strains by criteria fit" buttons. The tool can be used to view strain means from an arbitrary set of measures in a sortable table, download arbitrary strain means as CSV or JSON, as well as perform criteria fit analysis to find strains that best meet one or more "high", "medium", "low" criteria.

29 December, 2017:   Web app update

This update includes enhancements to phenotype correlations and scatterplot tools, including support for individual animal data points and unadjusted strain means, as well as look and feel updates. We also upgraded our infrastructure to use Python 3.6.


18 September, 2017:   Web app update

Enhanced phenotype tools usage, including ways to deploy several tools together on one page.


7 August, 2017:   Web app update
    • new data sets added and several SNP data sets reinstated
    • new user feedback form (via web page footers)
    • a new way to list phenotype measure sets by study design type (via Menu pulldown)
    • new SNP strains selection feature (when a specific data set is selected)
    • incremental enhancements to data displays and visualizations
    • urls are now https

7 June, 2017:   A completely new version of MPD's web application released

All aspects of our resource have been revisited. All pages have updated navigation patterns and appearance. Some new data visualizations are included; development of new tools, visualizations, and new data sharing capabilities is ongoing.

Regular MPD users will note the following differences that could impact their activities: MPD's customized phenotype categorization has been discontinued in favor of standard ontologies. Individual strain pages now emphasize searching for desired data rather than category listings. Most gene expression functionality has been discontinued. The old app's "shopping cart" has been replaced by "MyMPD". MyMPD can be used in guest mode or by registering. Old shopping cart contents are not automatically brought forward into MyMPD; users with needs in this area should contact us.

Please contact us if we can help with transitionary issues. Our goal is to accommodate user needs during this transition to the extent possible.
