Recent Changes to MGI's website
Overview |
|
MGI is remodeling its website. As a first step, we have retired or redesigned several rarely-used pages.
As always, please feel free to contact User Support for alternative ways to obtain information, to request custom data reports, or to comment on the changes. Thank you for your patience while we make improvements for you. |

The pages described below have been retired or redesigned due to low usage or redundant or out-dated information. Click any page image for a larger example. |
Accession IDs
Retired:
) Accession IDs Query FormDescription: Searches all accession IDs. Changes: Retired.
Use instead:
) Alternative(s):
Page: Any MGI pageDescription: The Quick Search (yellow box) searches for matches to accession IDs. Expression Data
Retired:
) cDNA Clone Query FormDescription: Searches for expression information based on tissue or cell-line origin of cDNAs. Changes: Retired.
Use instead:
) Alternative(s):
Page: Detail Page for a Gene or Genome FeatureDescription: cDNA source data for a particular gene are available via a link from the "Expression" section of the Gene Detail Page.
Mapping Data
Retired:
) DNA Mapping Panel Data SetsDescription: Displays a table of the results of a genetic cross in HTML or tab-delimited format for user-selected mapping panel and chromosome. Changes: Retired.
Use instead:
) Alternative(s):
Page: Public Reports on MGI's FTP serverDescription: Reports for each mapping panel and chromosome are available in tab-delimited format on MGI's FTP server. Reach these reports via the "Download" item on the menu bar.
Molecular Reagents
Retired:
) Probes and Clones Query FormDescription: Searches for probes, clones, primers, BACs, YACs and STSs in MGI's database. Changes: Retired.
Use instead:
) ) Alternative(s):
Page: Detail Page for a gene or genome feature, or Detail Page for a referenceDescription: Molecular reagents (probes, clones, primers, antibodies, etc.) associated with MGI's data for a gene or genome feature are available via a link from the "Molecular Reagents" section of the Detail Page for a gene or genome feature. The molecular reagents identifed in MGI's curated references are available via a link from the Detail Page for a reference.
Orthology/Homology
Retired:
) Orthology Query FormDescription: Searches for orthologies between two or more mammalian species. Changes: Retired.
Use instead:
) ) ) Alternative(s):
Page: Detail Page for a gene or genome feature, or Detail Page for a reference, or Quick Search results when using a non-mouse gene's accession ID.Description: Orthologous genes associated with a mouse gene or genome feature are available via a link from the "Mammalian Homology" section of the Detail Page for a gene or genome feature. Orthologs identified in MGI's curated references are available via a link from the Detail Page for a reference. Performing a Quick Search using a non-mouse gene or sequence accession ID returns a link to Orthology Summary page.
Retired:
) ) Oxford GridDescription: Creates an Oxford Grid for user-selected organisms. Changes: Retired. Alternative(s):
Page: Public Reports on MGI's FTP serverDescription: Various orthology reports are available in tab-delimited format on MGI's FTP server. These include reports for human-mouse; rat-mouse; rat-human; chimp-mouse; and dog-mouse. Reach these reports via the "Download" item on the menu bar.
Retired:
) Protein Information Super Family (PIRSF) BrowserDescription: Searches for or allows browsing to PIRSF terms and displays links to the Super Family pages listing genes or genome features associated with that family. Changes: Retired.
Use instead:
) ) Alternative(s):
Page: Detail Page for a gene or genome feature, or Quick Search results when searching using a PIRSF term or accession IDDescription: The curated Protein Super Family association for a gene or genome feature is available via a link from the "Mammalian Homology" section of the Detail Page for a gene or genome feature. Performing a Quick Search using a PIRSF term or accession ID returns a list of all mouse genes or genome features associated with the Super Family, and a link to the Super Family page.
