MGI uses the Alliance Community Forum for mouse genetic research community discussions and to announce updates to MGI.

Released in August 2021, the Alliance Community Forum is a discussion forum for researchers interested in being informed about Alliance news and updates. The Alliance Community Forum also represents the first place for discussions across the Alliance and seven model organism communities. Members can also post job openings, ask questions, and participate in discussions on genomic resources and tools. The Alliance Community Forum replaces mgi-list, used for several decades for discussion and announcements.

Here are a few quick tips to get you started with the Forum:

Like mgi-list, in order to post messages or receive posts, you must be a subscriber. Also like mgi-list, the posts can be viewed by anyone by using the web interface. You can log in with a new account on the forum or an existing Google account if you so choose.

1. If you want to ask a question to the mouse community:
   Click on Scientific Discusion under Model Organism: Mouse
   Then click on the New Topic button.
2. Job Postings can be added in a similar manner. You can click on the Job Posting heading to open the position to all organism users, or click on the subheading, Mice, to be more limiting.
3. You can adjust your level of engagement for a given category by clicking on it and then clicking on the bell icon. There are five levels of engagement ranging from getting notified of every new post in that category, to never being notified.

MGI maintains a separate e-mail forum for technical information about accessing MGI data, using APIs, and making links to MGI, the mgi-technical-list. For this, MGI uses Mail-List.com which is hosted at The Jackson Laboratory. MGI manages and moderates the technical list.
