International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium

Other names: IKMC, IMPC, Intgernational Mouse Phenotyping Consortium, The International Knockout Mouse Consortium, ikmc, The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium

The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) is an international effort by 21 research institutions to identify the function of every protein-coding gene in the mouse genome. To achieve this, the IMPC is systematically switching off or ‘knocking out’ each of the roughly 20,000 genes that make up the mouse genome. Subsequently, the knock out mice undergo standardised physiological tests (phenotyping tests) across a range of biological systems in order to infer gene function, before the data is made freely available to the research community on our website.
