About the Mouse genome

Assembly

Ensembl Mouse is based on the NCBI m36 mouse assembly (April 2006, strain C57BL/6J).

Mouse Genome Sequencing ConsortiumThe Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium is a joint project between The Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research, The Washington University Genome Sequencing Center, The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and EMBL - EBI to provide the Mouse genome sequence to the world. We work closely with other Mouse groups to provide an integrated resource (see below for credits).

Annotation

This site provides a full Ensembl gene build for the above assembly. There are some major changes in the assembly; for more details see the NCBI build statistics .

Modifications to the systems have further improved the gene set. 96% of the known genes and 60% of the novel genes from build m35 retain the same Ensembl gene ids in this release.
