"Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the third CCP Phenogenomics Conference. This year, the conference will be a virtual meeting due to the continuing uncertainty about travel.
The scientific committee has selected two main thematic focuses.
Even though, taking place only in a virtual environment, we believe that the Conference will provide an excellent opportunity to support networking and interactions among the CCP users and experts.
We are looking forward to meeting you virtually in September 2021.
Yours sincerely,
Radislav Sedlacek
Director of the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics
Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences"

Congenital anomalies (CA) affect 1 in 33 infants worldwide and result in approximately 3.1 million birth defect-related disabilities every year. CA are generally diagnosed only after birth or, more rarely, at late stages of pregnancy. Yet, most of them are determined early during the very first weeks after fertilization. To better understand the pathogenesis of CA at early embryonic stages, researchers from IGBMC (Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire) and PHENOMIN-ICS (PHENOMIN-Institut Clinique de la Souris) proposed to compare three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of mouse embryos carrying known mutations with their normal littermates at the start of appearance of the different organs. They are first aiming to compare mouse embryos at embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5) which are very similar to human embryos at the 6th week of gestation.
3D imaging is a useful tool to characterize morphological phenotypes, but also to describe the normal anatomy of embryos for educational purposes. Therefore, as a start, the researchers provide to the scientific community the first annotated 3D representation of E11.5 mouse embryo using HREM (high resolution episcopic microscopy). This technology generates images that are comparable to histology in terms of resolution: it allows visualizing the surfaces and volumes of internal organs and cavities, in the nervous system, heart and vasculature, primitive gut, and urogenital system. Each image content is detailed and annotated, inspired by the texts of Karl Theiler[1] (1972) and Matthew Kaufman[2] (1992).
This innovative educational material was developed as part of our participation in the PATHBIO consortium, which aims at designing and developing a series of innovative materials destined for teaching the anatomy, histology, embryology, imaging and pathology of the mouse. We are pleased that it is now freely available online.
And congratulations to the teams!

This April, an article in Nature Genetics highlights the major contribution of PHENOMIN-ICS in the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) for the implementation of a comprehensive quality control strategy for alleles in targeted embryonic stem cell clones produced by high throughput. More than 5000 resulting mouse lines were generated with these ES cell clone through a collaborative effort of the different IMPC centers. All of them have the great advantage of having been established in the same C57BL/6N genetic background. Almost 3,700 have a versatile allele that has the advantage of being able to be transformed either into a conditional knockout or into a knockout bearing a LacZ reporter gene. The conditional allele remains a tool of choice for all scientists wishing to perform more detailed analyzes. The total number of genes with a potential conditional allele has been nearly doubled thanks to the effort of the IMPC.
The ultimate goal of IMPC is to generate and phenotype in a standardized manner the KOs of all protein-coding genes to provide key information for the biology and understanding of the development of human diseases. We were able to show that 72% of the KO lines show at least one phenotype, thus revealing a significant pleiotropy. This proportion includes the 39 % showing partial or total lethality. Thanks to this tremendous effort, almost half of the genome is now targeted. Since 2015, the production of KOs from ES cells has been replaced by simple KOs obtained by CRISPR / Cas9 technology. However, in the new era of genome editing, this ES cell-derived collection remains of unique value, as it offers particularly sophisticated and quality-controlled alleles representing a cornerstone of the collective development of a resource of null allele for the complete genome of mammals.
