The Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium (MGSC) seeks to develop a comprehensive BAC map and complete sequence of the mouse genome. In the first year we have completed the physical map and generated about 6X whole genome shotgun coverage. Assemblies of earlier stages of coverage are available and an assembly of the full WGS data set is underway. The groups are now shifting to BAC clones to add additional shotgun data and to complete the sequence.
The MGSC is generating whole genome shotgun sequence data, which is being assembled and analyzed by a variety of laboratories world-wide. Here we provide links to sites that give access to the sequence and results of its analysis. The sequence is being generated continuously, and each assembly and analysis is based on a particular data freeze.. Ensembl has links to reference assemblies: ftp site and Trace Repository. NCBI provides centralized access to sequence data and assemblies.
Searches against various assemblies of the mouse sequence can be performed at either the Megablast server at NCBI or the SSAHA server at Ensembl. Information about cDNA clones from RIKEN is also available at FANTOM-DB
To our knowledge, all human-mouse comparative analyses are using the August 2001 assembly of the human genome. Analyses include:
