Project data set: Golani1   (2003)

Project Exploratory behavior of 8 inbred strains of mice surveyed in three laboratories

An investigation into exploratory and locomotor behavior utilizing video tracking apparatus and specialized analysis software. Degree of replication across 3 different laboratories was a secondary outcome.

Study design: baseline survey; 1 cohort.
8 strains tested     male only     Test age: 10wks

Investigators Golani I, Elmer GI, Kafkafi N, Benjamini Y   [Details, papers]

Note

Golani1 data were measured at three different laboratories. The data were pooled to produce the above MPD measurements. More on comparability of results from the three laboratories.

Note
Some measurements are a mixture of + and – values. [View list]
