ABSTRACT
The lowly mouse is highly regarded as a useful model for human diseases. As sequences of the human and mouse genomes indicate that the two genomes are 85% identical, a multidisciplinary collaboration of basic and clinical scientists worldwide has undertaken genomewide mutagenesis to functionally annotate the mouse genome and develop new mouse models relevant to human disease. In this chapter, Section 1 will present various murine models of human diseases and relevant online resources, and Section 2 will demonstrate how to fetch some online murine model information from selected databases.
