Abstract
This list is an update of the bibliography published in 2001. The dramatic development of the field is reflected in the growth of the previous list of 29 references to more than 150 in the space of 4 years. There are now mutant mouse strains for almost every nuclear receptor gene in the mammalian genome, with some genes having multiple different alleles. These include selective deletions of alternative products of a given gene and conditional or knock-in alleles. Most of the strains have been derived by targeted mutagenesis, although a few spontaneous mutations have also been identified. The list offers a glimpse into the remarkable role of this gene family with functions in reproduction, embryogenesis, metabolism, cardiac function, behavior, and the senses, amongst other areas.
For each gene, systematic nomenclature is used in addition to commonly used names (see Cell 97:161, 1999; or Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas, www.nursa.org). The gene symbols are in italics. The Mouse Genome Informatics web site (http://www.informatics.jax.org/) provides valuable information on nomenclature, alleles, and background strains.
The goal in the current list is limited, restricting the references to first reports of new mutations or combinations of mutations. There is scope to extend the list in the future to include many additional studies of these mouse strains. Human mutations or nonmurine models such as Drosophila could also be included. It is recognized that the present list may not be complete, and apologies are offered for any omissions. Comments by K. Parker, K. Korach, F. Gonzalez, J. Samarut, M-J. Tsai, S. Tsai, and V. Giguère are gratefully acknowledged. Additions or suggestions are welcomed.
