TLDR
It is salutary to reflect that the authors remain remarkably ignorant of the function of most genes in the mammalian genome, clearly illustrated from the outputs of genome-wide.
Abstract
Nearly 10 years after the completion of the human genome project, and the report of a complete sequence of the mouse genome, it is salutary to reflect that we remain remarkably ignorant of the function of most genes in the mammalian genome. This is clearly illustrated from the outputs of genome-wide

A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rare coding variants can pinpoint causal genes within known genetic loci and illustrate that applying the approach systematically to detect new loci requires extremely large sample sizes.

A comparative phenotypic and genomic analysis of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N mouse strains

TL;DR: Comparison of C57BL/6J and C57bl/6N demonstrates a range of phenotypic differences that have the potential to impact upon penetrance and expressivity of mutational effects in these strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human knockouts and phenotypic analysis in a cohort with a high rate of consanguinity.

TL;DR: Overall, these observations provide a roadmap for a ‘human knockout project’, a systematic effort to understand the phenotypic consequences of complete disruption of genes in humans.

The Mouse Genome Database (MGD): comprehensive resource for genetics and genomics of the laboratory mouse

TL;DR: Improvements to MGD include expanded genome feature classifications, inclusion of new mutant allele sets and phenotype associations and extensions of GO to include new relationships and a new stream of annotations via phylogenetic-based approaches.

Understanding Mammalian Genetic Systems: The Challenge of Phenotyping in the Mouse

TL;DR: The scale of the task underlines the need to invest in technological development improving both the speed and cost of phenotyping platforms and it will be necessary to develop new informatics standards that capture the phenotype assay as well as other factors, genetic and environmental, that impinge upon phenotype outcome.

Technical approaches for mouse models of human disease.

TL;DR: This poster review outlines the major genome manipulations available in the mouse that are used to understand human disease: natural variation, reverse genetics, forward genetics, transgenics and transposons.

Exploring the elephant: histopathology in high-throughput phenotyping of mutant mice.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented for the unique contribution that Histopathology can make to a large-scale phenotyping effort, using examples from past and current programmes at Lexicon Pharmaceuticals and The Jackson Laboratory, and the role of histopathology analysis in high-throughput Phenotyping pipelines is critically assessed.
