ForestPMPlot: A Flexible Tool for Visualizing Heterogeneity Between Studies in Meta-analysis. [PDF]
, 2016 Meta-analysis has become a popular tool for genetic association studies to combine different genetic studies. A key challenge in meta-analysis is heterogeneity, or the differences in effect sizes between studies.

Quantitative Trait Loci That Determine BMD in C57BL/6J and 129S1/SvImJ Inbred Mice [PDF]
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2006 Abstract BMD is highly heritable; however, little is known about the genes. To identify loci controlling BMD, we conducted a QTL analysis in a (B6 × 129) F2 population of mice. We report on additional QTLs and also narrow one QTL by combining the data from multiple crosses and through haplotype analysis.

Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location. [PDF]
, 2017 Transposable repetitive elements, named the "TREome," represent ~40% of the mouse genome. We postulate that the germ line genome undergoes temporal and spatial diversification into somatic genomes in conjunction with the TREome activity.

Experimentation with Animals: A Key Aspect of the 3Rs. The Genetic Quality [PDF]
, 2019 The genetic quality of laboratory animals is essential for reproducibility of scientific research. Working with animals of certifiedgenetic quality is still a pending issue in Argentina due to the lack of routine genetic controls, of information on the ...

Strain-dependent variations in stress coping behavior are mediated by a 5-HT/GABA interaction within the prefrontal corticolimbic system [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Serotonin and γ- Aminobutyric acid (GABA) transmission is crucial in coping strategies. Methods: Here, using mice from 2 inbred strains widely exploited in behavioral neurochemistry, we investigated whether serotonin transmission in medial ...

Sex differences in glucose metabolism of streptozotocin-induced diabetes inbred mice (C57BL/6J) [PDF]
Applied Biological Chemistry, 2020 AbstractConsidering that sex differences in glucose metabolism are observed in mice, researchers unconsciously use male mice to reduce variations by an estrogen cycle in female mice. In this study, we investigated the sex differences in glucose homeostasis in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes inbred mice (C57BL/6J).

A common and unstable copy number variant is associated with differences in Glo1 expression and anxiety-like behavior [PDF]
, 2015 Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) has been implicated in anxiety-like behavior in mice and in multiple psychiatric diseases in humans. We used mouse Affymetrix exon arrays to detect copy number variants (CNV) among inbred mouse strains and thereby identified a ...
