IKMC Targeting Repository

Welcome

Welcome to the IKMC Targeting Repository. This repository compiles information on mutant ES Cells and Targeting vectors made by the pipelines in the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC).

Please note: This site is provided to enable IKMC members to enter product data. To browse this data you should use the IKMC Biomart Portal at knockoutmouse.org.

About

Catalogue

This repository is a catalogue of targeted mutant alleles produced by the IKMC members and the mirKO program.

Allele Maps

All alleles stored in this repository will have allele map images generated based on the molecular structure information supplied. Examples of such images can be seen here and here. Note: this functionality is still in active development.

Genome Browser Track

All alleles in this repository will appear in the IKMC DAS Track, see here for an example (the gene Art4). (See wikipedia for information on the DAS specification.) This track can be included into any DAS-aware genome browser (in particular the Ensembl genome browser).

Summary

This repository currently houses information on 40982 alleles, covering 24012 mouse genes, that have been made into 157009 targeting vectors and 245016 mutant ES cells, over 13 different production pipelines.
