MGD offers batch querying interfaces for data retrieval for users wishing to retrieve data in bulk. The Batch Query tool (http://www.informatics.jax.org/batch) (13) is used for retrieving bulk data about lists of genome features. Feature identifiers can be typed in or uploaded from a file. Gene IDs from MGI, NCBI GENE, Ensembl, UniProt and other resources can be used. Users can choose the information set they wish to retrieve, such as genome location GO annotations, list of mutant alleles, MP annotations, RefSNP IDs and Disease Ontology (DO) terms. Results are returned as a web display or in tab delimited text or Excel format. Results may also be forwarded to MouseMine (see below).
