Welcome
to Neurogenetics Online
Welcome to Nervenet.org and The Informatics Center for Mouse Neurogenetics. This server hosts the Mouse Brain Library, an expanding collection of high-resolution histological images, atlases, MRIs, and databases on brain structure of more than 120 different lines of mice. Nervenet also includes several useful genetics and gene mapping databases to download (SNP databases, Map Manager databases, and the Portable Dictionary of the Mouse Genome). The publications section includes revised, expanded, and annotated papers, tutorials, and reviews on neurogenetics, gene mapping,complex trait analysis, stereology, and the control of neuron number.
To submit to the database of your choice use the links listed in the scroll-down menu at the top or use the [Database Main Page.]
Control a research-grade light microscope: By downloading our free control software (available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X support), you can control one of our microscopes in real time from your desktop computer and explore a wealth of mouse brain tissue.. [Help]
WebQTL is an unique World Wide Web service that makes it possible for neurogeneticists to rapidly identify and map genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL), particularly those related to brain structure and behavior. WebQTL allows rapid QTL mapping of CNS traits for major recombinant inbred (RI) sets, for shared intercrosses and backcrosses, and particularly for a very large advanced intercross population (the G10). (Please see http://www.webqtl.org for further information)

Quantitative genetics and QTL mapping have undergone a revolution in the last decade. Progress in the next decade promises to be even more rapid, and prospects for exploring the complex interplay between gene variants, disease, and the environment will be radically improved. [CTC Publications]
