Training

This course is suitable for those with an undergraduate-level knowledge of biology. With this course, you’ll learn what the IMPC is and what data you can find within the IMPC portal, determine whether there are phenotypes and/or potential disease models for your gene of interest, identify whether there are genes associated with a phenotype you are interested in and establish whether there are knockout mouse strains available for your gene of interest and know how to order them. This training was provided by EBI.

This course is designed for anyone interested in learning how to access IMPC data using Python. It will provide you with the necessary skills to navigate and utilise the data effectively. However, basic Python programming skills are required so an introductory Python course is recommended. If you’re new to IMPC or want to explore its resources further, we suggest starting with our course The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium: Finding phenotypes for your gene of interest. This training was provided by EBI.

The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) is a resource created by an international collaborative effort from 21 research institutions, aiming to identify the function of every mammalian protein-coding gene using the mouse as a model organism. Currently, the IMPC has generated knockout lines for 8,901 mouse genes, and studied them systematically to determine their function in different biological systems and their role in disease.

This training was provided by EBI. This webinar will offer an overview of how IMPC data is generated, along with a guided tour of the website, showcasing key features and available data. We will also explore how phenotype data can be used to investigate Mendelian diseases, and how the PhenoDigm algorithm can be applied to identify new models of human disease-gene associations.

This training is designed to introduce biocuration using IMPC data. This collection is suitable for anyone who is interested in becoming a biocurator or learning what is involved in being a biocurator. It is also suitable for biocurators who are interested in discovering more about programming, text mining, ontologies and user experience design for biocuration. Using IMPC data.
