MTB - Mouse Tumor Biology Database
What you can do:
Search comprehensive information on tumors in different mouse strains.
Highlights:
- MTB is a public resource for information on cancer genetics, epidemiology, and pathology in genetically defined mice.
- It provides electronic access to data generated through the study of spontaneous and induced tumors in genetically defined mice (inbred, hybrid, spontaneous and induced mutant, and genetically engineered strains of mice).
- Currently MTB holds >16,000 tumor instances in >3,500 genetically defined mouse strains and >1,300 pathology images.
- 2007 update:
- Tumor Frequency Grid has been revised to enhance interactivity, providing an overview of reported tumor incidence across mouse strains and an entree into the database.
Keywords:
- mouse cancer
- mouse tumors
- mouse neoplasms
- mouse hereditary cancer
- mouse tissues
- mouse pathology images
- rodent diseases
