Genetic Modifiers of Polyp Development in Smad4-Deficient Mice

52.7 MB of experimental data from a mouse model study of intestinal polyposis. The dataset includes recorded phenotypes like polyp counts, mouse identifiers, sex, and strain information, alongside QTL analysis results with LOD scores and peak positions. It was authored by Osayd Zohud and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) linked to polyp development based on provided LOD scores and peak positions.
• Analyze correlations between mouse strain, sex, and polyp count phenotypes.
• Validate genetic modifiers of tumorigenesis in a Smad4-deficient background.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 52.7 MB, indicating a substantial amount of raw experimental data.
• Includes multiple data facets: phenotypic measurements and QTL analysis results.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
