MGI Search Genes

Search for mouse (Mus musculus) genes in MGI (Mouse Genome Informatics) by gene symbol, name, or keyword. Returns matching mouse gene symbols, names, and MGI identifiers. Powered by the Alliance of Genome Resources API which integrates MGI data. Use this to find mouse gene IDs before calling MGI_get_gene or MGI_get_phenotypes. Examples: 'Trp53' (tumor protein p53), 'Brca1', 'insulin', 'Notch'.
