Mouse Genome Sequencing: Mus musculusThe National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Wellcome Trust currently support a mouse genome sequencing project that aims to produce a robust physical map, and a high quality, finished genomic sequence of the C57BL/6J strain of Mus musculus. This project is led by the Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium (MGSC), a collaboration consisting of four large sequencing centers: the Broad Institute/MIT Center for Genomic Research; the Washington University Genome Sequencing Center; the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute; The Baylor college of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center; and an international database, Ensembl, a joint project between the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Sanger Centre.
News regarding sequencing, assembly and annotation of the mouse genome can be found in the Mouse Genome Monthly NHGRI has also convened a group of leading mouse researchers - the Mouse Sequencing Liaison Group - to serve as a line of communication between the sequencing centers and the funding agencies, and the mouse research community.Membership of this Mouse Sequencing Liaison Group
The Trans-NIH Mouse Initiative [nih.gov] is a source of information for the development of a wide range of genomic and genetic resources related to the laboratory mouse. For additional information about the Trans-NIH Mouse Initiative, please contact: Additional ResourcesSequence and Assembly
