Enhanced data assets for Genomic Medicine - Integrating clinical and experimental genotype-phenotype data for biomedical discovery and disease management.

Mice and humans share a similar set of genes and as a result their biology has played a critical role in medical advancements in recent years. Practitioners nowhave a sound understanding of key observable characteristics (phenotypes) in mice that help drive medical interventions for conditions such as obesity, diabetes,immune defects, blood cancers such as leukaemia and many more. However, a deeper functional understanding of the genomic determinants of human healthand disease is required to optimize clinical management and advance biomedical research, for improved diagnostic decision making, targeted therapeuticdevelopment, and design of new disease prevention strategies. In particular, more efficient links between human and model animal system datasets arerequired.
