For any given inbred line or mouse strain of defined genotype, data might be collected from various online sources to provide a summary of the phenotype of that line or strain in the form of a central tendency and a measure of variation. This would allow meta-analysis of phenotyping analyses carried out at different sites, and the integration of similar data relating to different genetic backgrounds, facilitating mining of genotype/phenotype datasets for novel patterns of association. By collecting data from different sites, information on the reproducibility of particular measurements could also be gathered. The information could be updated continuously to maintain up-to-date information
