Linking to the MMRRC Catalog

Donating investigators may want to direct other researchers to a full listing of their strains using the MMRRC catalog. Most any query that can be done using the Catalog Search Form can be specified as a URL with a Query String.

The MMRRC catalog search URL can accept arguments (passed as a Query String appended to the URL) allowing other resources to provide links to subsets of the MMRRC catalog. Especially useful to contributor organizations is the ability to list all strains related to their program. For example, for a listing of all the strains associated with the fictituous program ZYX, the URL would be:

http://www.mmrrc.org/catalog/StrainCatalogSearchForm.jsp?jboEventVo=StrainCatalogMasterView&jboEvent=Search&SourceCollection=ZYX

The relevant parameters (and suitable values) are:

• gene_search (Gene%2FAllele+Symbol, Gene%2FAllele+Name)
• symName (contains, equals, begins, ends)
• lowerCaseSymbol (any gene or allele symbol or name)
• numName ([URL escaped:] =, <, >, between, <=, >=, <>)
• MmrrcId (Stock ID number corresponding to the previous operation; for between operator use "# and #" format)
• Alteration (any value from the Alteration Type pulldown list)
• SourceCollection (any value from the Major Collection pulldown list, URL escaped)
• InitialMaintenanceLevel (Both, EScelllines, Mice)
• Status (AVD, Importation, and/or Accepted; may list once for each category desired)

Always include this portion of the Query String in order to execute the search: jboEventVo=StrainCatalogMasterView&jboEvent=Search
Without it, the search form may be filled out, but the search will not be executed or the results not function correctly.
