THE IMPC WEB PORTAL
Overview
The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) is:
• Generating a knockout mouse strain for almost every proteincoding gene in the next decade
• Characterizing each strain using a standardized, broad-based
phenotyping pipeline.
• Supported by the MPI2 consortium consisting of experts from
EMBL-EBI, MRC Harwell, and the Wellcome Trust Sanger
Institute
Key IMPC Resources
IMPReSS- Standardized protocols

•
The MPI2 consortium is:
• Centralizing, analyzing, and integrating all phenotype data
generated by IMPC partners
• Standardizing phenotype protocols to allow comparison of data
across centers
• Using dedicated ‘data wranglers’ to work with IMPC partners to
ensure proper transfer and quality control of data occurs.
• Developing a statistical analysis pipeline that will automate
genotype-to-phenotype associations.
• Annotating all data with biomedical ontologies to enhance data
integration.

Data Integration
The MPI2 consortium coordinates production of mice, harmonize
protocols and data export across centers, associate genes to
phenotypes using an automated statistical pipeline, and
performs data integration to gain new insights into human
disease.

Automated Statistical Analysis- A statistical package in
the widely used R environment is being developed to
automate genotype-to-phenotype associations.
User driven design- We test all of our online
components with biomedical researchers to improve
the utilit and ease of use of the IMPC web portal.
Conclusion
•
The MPI2 consortium is involved in all aspects of the IMPC
pipeline from tracking mouse production to data integration and
dissemination efforts
•
Genotype-to-phenotype associations

The IMPC web portal is under a rapid development cycle with
features being added after user testing. For the latest see:

Ontology Use- Data is annotated to widely used
ontologies including the MP, MA, EMAPA to aid in data
integration efforts.
The community is invited to sign up to receive strain production
updates and to evaluate the presentation of data as we develop
the IMPC web portal: www.mousephenotype.org

Data Wranglers- Dedicated personnel that work with
mouse centers to ensure data is uploaded correctly and of
high quality.
