Abstract
The Mouse Tumor Biology database seeks to facilitate the researcher's access to the ever increasing amount of data now being published using mouse models of cancer. Why is this database important and how does it relate to similar databases within the cancer research community? The laboratory mouse has long been an important tool in the study of the biology and genetics of human cancer. With the advent of genetic engineering techniques, DNA microarray analyses, tissue arrays and other large-scale, high-throughput data generating methods, the amount of data available for mouse models of cancer is growing exponentially. Tools to integrate, locate and visualize these data are crucial to aid researchers in their investigations. The Mouse Tumor Biology database ( http://tumor.informatics.jax.org ) seeks to address that need.
