Comparative Mouse Genomics Centers Consortium: the Mouse Genotype Database.
The Comparative Mouse Genomics Centers Consortium (CMGCC) is a branch of the Environmental Genome Project sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) focusing upon the identification of human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may confer disease susceptibility within the human population. The goal of the CMGCC (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/cmgcc/) is to make genetic mouse models for human SNPs within cell cycle control, DNA replication and DNA repair genes that may be associated with human pathologies. In order to facilitate information sharing and analysis within the consortium a set of informatics resources have been generated to support the mouse model development efforts. The primary entry point for information about the mouse models developed by the consortium is through the CMGCC Genotype Database (http://mrages.niehs.nih.gov/genotype/), which maintains both a consortium specific and public access display of the available and developing mouse models.
