Assembly

Ensembl Mouse is based on the April 2007 Mus musculus (strain C57BL/6J) high coverage assembly (NCBI m37). This assembly is used by UCSC to create their mm9 database.

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).

There are some major changes in the assembly from version m36; for more details see the NCBI build statistics .

To convert your old data from Mouse assembly m36 to m37, click on 'Manage your data' on any mouse page and select 'Assembly converter' from the left-hand menu.
