Evolution of TRACER dataset. (A) Genomic distribution of the insertions with expression annotations (red) and available as lines (blue) (generated with the Karyoview tool from Ensembl – status in July 2012). Insertions on the Y chromosome are not shown as their positions are ambiguous (B) The number of mapped insertions increases at a regular pace (light blue line), almost paralleled by expression reports (red cursor). A smaller proportion of these are kept alive or archived by cryopreservation (blue cursor). (C) The user wish list allows researchers to register interest for a genomic interval. It ensures that mice with new insertions in this region will be preserved for the scientist who indicated this request. The interval of interest can be defined by position or by gene name.
