Mouse Diversity Genotyping Array

 

 Description

The Mouse Diversity Genotyping Array (MDA) is a custom Affymetrix array designed by Drs. Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena and Gary Churchill. The MDA includes 623,124 probes designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 916,269 invariant genomic probes that are targeted to functional elements and known segmental duplications in the mouse genome.

The MDA has been applied to assay genetic diversity of thousands of mouse strains, strain panels, outbred and wild-caught mice.

Mouse Phylogeny Viewer

MDA data were used generate genome-wide haplotype blocks structure of 198 mouse strains. (Wang et at., 2012)

Haplotype Reconstruction

MDA data were used to reconstruct the haplotypes of recombinant inbred strains (AXB/BXA, LXS and BXD) and chromosome substitution strains (B6.A, B6.PWD and B6.MSM).  We provide an interactive tool for viewing and data download. (Simecek et al., unpubl.)
