Pathbase—a database of normal and transgenic mouse histology—is the kind of resource that developmental geneticists have been waiting for. Having engineered a specific mutant, mouse geneticists often lack the necessary expertise that is vital for the accurate analysis of mutant phenotypes. Well, Pathbase is here to help.

The database can be searched — for example, by tissue or by the type of pathology. You can navigate around Pathbase using a simple menu, which also includes links to other useful sites and even information on pathology courses. By following a simple set of instructions, individuals, who have completed a free registration, can contribute images and pathology descriptions to Pathbase. There is also a bulletin board, called pathology forum, to which comments or questions can be submitted.

The project is curated by an international consortium of pathologists and veterinarians whose goal is also to develop standard histopathology and anatomy nomenclature. Although Pathbase is still being improved, it already contains useful data and in the future it might even include other organisms.
