Abstract
The generation and analysis of transgenic mice has become an important tool to progress our understanding of
human and mouse gene function and its association with human genetic diseases. Animal models, based on
genetically modified mice, both standard transgenic and knock-out animals, are increasingly being used worldwide.
Monitoring of transgenic mouse production and transgenic mouse colonies is required to efficiently manage
the resources that are available. Here, I describe three independent FileMaker databases (
transgenics, mymouse andcages
) that have been developed to track the generation of transgenic mice, the organisation of transgenic mousecolonies and the distribution of mice in cages. These three databases are freely available for academic use.
