Conclusion
The availability of mouse genomic resources will significantly accelerate the completion of the mouse genome sequencing project.
Supporting Evidence
- The BAC fingerprint map of the mouse genome is almost complete.
- 41 million whole genome shotgun reads have been generated for the C57Bl/6 strain.
- The ARACHNE assembly was selected for further analysis by the Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium.
Takeaway
Scientists are working hard to finish mapping the mouse genome, which will help us understand genetics better.
Methodology
The paper reviews the progress of the mouse genome sequencing project, including BAC fingerprint mapping and whole-genome shotgun sequencing.
