Animals Application

The animal app contains and controls the display of data about animals.

Animals are tracked as individual entities, and given associations to breeding cages to follow ancestry, and strains.

Animal

Most parameters about an animal are set within the animal object. Here is where the animals strain, breeding, parentage and many other parameters are included. Animals have foreignkey relationships with both Strain and Breeding, so an animal may only belong to one of each of those. As an example, a mouse cannot come from more than one Breeding set, and cannot belong to more than one strain.

Backcrosses and Generations

For this software, optional tracking of backcrosses and generations is available and is stored as an attribute of an animal. When an inbred cross is made against a pure background, the backcross increases by 1. When a heterozygote cross is made, the generation increases by one. As an example, for every time a mouse in a C57/BL6 background is crossed against a wildtype C57/B6 mouse, the backcross (but not the generation) increases by one. For every time a mutant strain is crosses against itself (either vs a heterozygote or homozygote of that strain), the generation will increase by one. Backcrosses should typically be performed against a separate colony of purebred mouse, rather than against wild-type alleles of the mutant strain.

Breeding Cages

A breeding cage is defined as a set of one or more male and one or more female mice. Because of this, it is not always clear who the precise parentage of an animal is. If the parentage is known, then the Mother and Father fields can be set for a particular animal.

Strains

A strain is a set of mice with a similar genetics. Importantly strains are separated from Backgrounds. For example, one might have mice with the genotype ob/ob but these mice may be in either a C57-Black6 or a mixed background. This difference is set at the individual animal level. The result of this is that a query for a particular strain may then need to be filtered to a specific background.

Animal Data Models

This module describes the Strain, Animal, Breeding and Cage data models.

This module stores all data regarding a particular laboratory animal. Information about experimental data and timed matings are stored in the data and timed_matings packages. This module describes the database structure for each data model.

class mousedb.animal.models.Animal(*args, **kwargs)

A data model describing an animal.

This data model describes a wide variety of parameters of an experimental animal. This model is linked to the Strain. If the parentage of a mouse is known, this can be identified (the breeding set may not be clear on this matter). Mice are automatically marked as not alive when a Death date is provided and the object is saved. Strain, Background and Genotype are required fields. By default, querysets are ordered first by strain then by MouseID.

age()

Calculates the animals age, relative to the current date (if alive) or the date of death (if not).

breeding_female_location_type()

This attribute defines whether a female’s current location is the same as the breeding cage to which it belongs.

This attribute is used to color breeding table entries such that male mice which are currently in a different cage can quickly be identified. The location is relative to the first breeding cage an animal is assigned to.

breeding_male_location_type()

This attribute defines whether a male’s current location is the same as the breeding cage to which it belongs.

This attribute is used to color breeding table entries such that male mice which are currently in a different cage can quickly be identified. The location is relative to the first breeding cage an animal is assigned to.

save()

The save method for Animal class is over-ridden to set Alive=False when a Death date is entered. This is not the case for a cause of death.

class mousedb.animal.models.Breeding(*args, **kwargs)

This data model stores information about a particular breeding set

A breeding set may contain one ore more males and females and must be defined via the progeny strain. For example, in the case of generating a new strain, the strain indicates the new strain not the parental strains. A breeding cage is defined as one male with one or more females. If the breeding set is part of a timed mating experiment, then Timed_Mating must be selected. Breeding cages are automatically inactivated upon saving when a End date is provided. The only required field is Strain. By default, querysets are ordered by Strain, then Start.

duration()

Calculates the breeding cage’s duration.

This is relative to the current date (if alive) or the date of inactivation (if not). The duration is formatted in days.

male_breeding_location_type()

This attribute defines whether a breeding male’s current location is the same as the breeding cage.

This attribute is used to color breeding table entries such that male mice which are currently in a different cage can quickly be identified.

save()

The save function for a breeding cage has to automatic over-rides, Active and the Cage for the Breeder.

In the case of Active, if an End field is specified, then the Active field is set to False. In the case of Cage, if a Cage is provided, and animals are specified under Male or Females for a Breeding object, then the Cage field for those animals is set to that of the breeding cage. The same is true for both Rack and Rack Position.

unweaned()

This attribute generates a queryset of unweaned animals for this breeding cage. It is filtered for only Alive animals.

class mousedb.animal.models.Strain(*args, **kwargs)

A data model describing a mouse strain.

This is separate from the background of a mouse. For example a ob/ob mouse on a mixed or a black-6 background still have the same strain. The background is defined in the animal and breeding cages. Strain and Strain_slug are required.

get_absolute_url(*moreargs, **morekwargs)

For a Strain object, the permalinked absolute url is /strain/strain-slug.

Animal App Views and URLs

This package contains all url dispatchers for the animal app.

It is broken down into animal, strain, breeding, cage and date url dispatchers for clarity. Each of these takes a different subfolder directive (ie the animal module is for /animal... requests.

Breeding URLS

This URLconf defines the routing of pages for breeding objects.

This includes generic views for breeding, breeding details and create, change, search and delete breeding cages.

Cage URLS

Date URLS

This package is the url dispatcher for date views.

This urlconf takes a url in the form /date/... and can generate a general archive, yearly archive or monthly archive.

Mouse URLS

This url dispatcher for animal objects

controls views in the form /mouse..., /mice... or /animal...

This includes create, update, delete views as well as animal-list, and animal-list all and animal-multiple-new.

Strain URLS

This module is the url dispatcher for strain related views.

It takes the root /strain... and generates strain-list, strain-new, strain-edit, strain-delete, strain-detail and strain-detail-all views from animal.views.

ToDo List URLS

URL configuration file for todo subpages.

This controls any page /mousedb/todo/... and sends it to the appropriate views.
