Publisher review:MouseTRACS is a web based laboratory informatics system that electronically records and organizes mouse colony operations. MouseTRACS is a web based laboratory informatics system that electronically records and organizes mouse colony operations, prints cage cards, tracks inventory, manages requests, and reports Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee ( IACUC) protocol usage.
For efficient phenotype screening, MouseTRACS identifies mutants, visualizes data, and maps mutations. It displays and integrates phenotype and genotype data using likelihood odds ratio (LOD) plots of genetic linkage between genotype and phenotype. More detailed mapping intervals show individual Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers in the context of phenotype.
Additionally, dynamically generated pedigree diagrams and inventory reports linked to screening results summarize the inheritance pattern and the degree of penetrance. MouseTRACS displays screening data in tables and uses standard charts such as box plots, histograms, scatter plots, and customized charts looking at clustered mice or cross pedigree comparisons.
In summary, MouseTRACS enables the efficient screening, analysis, and management of thousands of animals to find mutant mice and identify novel gene functions.
MouseTRACS is a Perl script for Other scripts design by bioinformatics-renlab.ucsd.edu.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
