CellMAGE: cell-type deconvolution for multi-parent population analysis of gene expression

CellMAGE deconvolves gene expression in multi-parent populations by leveraging known parental genetic contributions, outperforming existing methods in accuracy and efficiency.

Data-driven prioritization of mouse strains for improved preclinical modeling of rare and common disease

This paper introduces a genomic framework to prioritize mouse strains for preclinical disease modeling, showing high sensitivity in predicting strain vulnerability to diseases.

A shared genetic regulator of metabolism and addiction-related behavior in mice and humans

This study identifies a shared genetic regulator linking metabolism and addiction-related behavior in mice and humans through a common enhancer regulating Eed/Me3 and EED/ME3.

Behavioral variation across multiple phases of intravenous cocaine self-administration among genetically diverse mouse populations

The paper examines behavioral variation in cocaine self-administration across multiple phases in genetically diverse mouse populations, identifying strain and sex differences and extreme strains for drug intake traits.

GenomeMUSter mouse genetic variation service enables multi-trait, multi-population data integration and analyses

GenomeMUSter integrates and harmonizes mouse genetic variation data across populations to enable multi-trait, multi-population analyses and improve variant-phenotype association studies.

Variation in histone configurations correlates with gene expression across nine inbred strains of mice

The paper examines how histone modifications vary across mouse strains and correlates these variations with gene expression, finding strong links between chromatin states and gene expression, but not DNA methylation.

The Ontology of Biological Attributes (OBA) - Computational Traits for the Life Sciences

This paper introduces OBA, a formalized ontology for biological attributes to facilitate data integration across phenotypic, genetic, and environmental data.

Genetic Analysis of Bphse: a Novel Gene Complementing Resistance to Bordetella pertussis-Induced Histamine Sensitization

The paper identifies a genetic modifier locus, Bphse, that complements resistance to histamine sensitization in mice by analyzing Hrh1 alleles and using network-based methods.
