SNP Selection for Genetic Mapping and Genetic Monitoring in Laboratory Mice Strains Mouse SNPbrowser™ Software SNP Selection for Genetic Mapping and Genetic Monitoring in Laboratory Mice Strains

The wizard feature of the software can be used to easily select SNPs either for genetic mapping or for genetic monitoring in the most common mouse strains. Users are prompted for various SNP selection preferences, depending on the application of interest. SNPs are visualized on the main chromosomal display to establish distance relationships, highlight uncovered regions of the genome, and contrast SNP sets with different properties. Users can right click on a displayed SNP to obtain relevant information such as mCV ID, refSNP ID, chromosome number, physical position, and link to the NCBI Cluster Report for that SNP. After performing a genetic mapping calculation, user can click the Export SNPs in View button to export the selected SNPs in a tab-delimited file. Relevant SNP ID's, location, and allelic information for the appropriate strains are found in the export file. User can also click the Add to Cart button to add the selected SNPs from this calculation to existing SNPs in the cart. RESULTS
