Mouse Genome Informatics practical workshop: Saint Louis University

Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI; http://www.informatics.jax.org/) is a free, highly curated resource providing searchable web and programmatic access to a complete catalog of mouse genes, genome features, sequence variation, functional annotations, gene expression data, and a comprehensive index of mutant and knockout alleles, phenotypes and human disease models.

This practical workshop is designed to include short introductory sections to MGI features and tools, as well as hands-on, practical experience working through biologically relevant exercises. The focus of this workshop will be on the web interface, no programming knowledge or prior experience is required. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own research-specific questions.

When:    Wednesday, April 12, 10am-noon
Where:   School of Medicine, Schwitalla Hall Room M360
Cost:      Free

genes and genome features

genome sequence variation (SNPs, etc.)

gene expression (e.g. immunohistochemistry, RNA in situ, western blot)

gene function

mutant alleles and phenotypes

finding mouse models for phenotypes and/or human diseases

identifying Cre alleles based on expression pattern

bulk data analysis
