Meeting report for the 4th Annual Complex Trait Consortium Meeting: From QTLs to Systems Genetics.
Department of Genetics, CB#7264, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599, USA, dwt@med.unc.edu. The fourth annual meeting of the Complex Trait Consortium (CTC) was held in Groningen, the Netherlands on June 26-29, 2005. This meeting, which set a new attendance record, followed three previous and highly successful meetings. The focus at this meeting was on continued resource development and the exiting new field of systems genetics, the integration and anchoring of multi-dimensional data-types to underlying genetic variation. A new aspect at the meeting was the three-minute, 'come see my poster' presentations that generated significant interaction at the poster sessions. If the 2005 meeting is an indicator of things to come, future meetings promise to offer even more exciting research efforts to integrate high-throughput biological measurements with genetic variation to unravel the mechanisms responsible for inter-individual variation.

Mouse Engineering. Making Better Models for Complex Common Disease
Complex Trait Consortium, an international effort by 300 geneticists to create a population of mice that mimics the human population when studying disease as well as drug reactions.
Most science is still done by looking at a single gene within a single mouse strain, for two reasons: Until recently it's not been possible to study how multiple genes work in concert. Also, federal funding is geared toward specific goals that can be reached in a couple of years, which means that lone gene in isolation gets the money. Read Article , by Scott Shepard.

Mouse Inbred Line Genotype Data
Please note that a preliminary release and analysis of the mouse genotype data for the strains submitted to us by the CTC is now available from http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/mouse/INBREDS, The data look OK based on our initial analyses, but if you see anything wrong or missing please let us know.
In summary, we got good data for 13377 SNPs that mapped onto Build33 of the mouse genome (there are a few more good SNPs which will be positioned shortly). There are data for 477 contributed DNAs.
The haplotype block structures of the RIL panels in the set are interesting.http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/mouse/INBREDS/RIL [Many thanks to all those who contributed DNAs and SNP data ].

CTC -- The Complex Trait Consortium Mailing List
In general we would like to encourage use of the CTC LISTSERV to:

• Discuss research plans and results
  
• Devise better ways to share resources
  
• Post questions and answers on particular technical problems pertaining to QTL mapping and complex trait analysis
  
• Announce and plan scientific meetings
  
• Share papers and preprints of broad interest
  
• Provide pointers and commentary on Internet resources
