Duke's Biological and Environmental Sciences Library and the Medical Center Library are sponsoring a two-hour Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) workshop taught by instructors from the Jackson Laboratory. In this hands-on workshop, you will use MGI to:

• find mouse models of human disease
• locate mouse genotypes associated with a specific phenotype
• identify suppliers of mice carrying a mutation in a gene of interest
• find gene expression assays and images
• view terms describing the molecular function, biological process and cellular component of a gene, and retrieve a list of genes annotated with a specific Gene Ontology (GO) term
• identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and PCR polymorphism specific to selected mouse strains
• locate suppliers of BAC or cDNA clones
• download MGI data or perform batch queries

Register now for the workshop, which will be held on Wednesday, November 5th, from 9-11am in 023 Bostock Library.  This event is free to Duke faculty, staff, and students.
