Ensembl Mouse is based on the NCBI m36 mouse assembly (April 2006, strain C57BL/6J).
The 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).
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.
Ensembl 41 includes the first release of variation data for chimp, to accompany the new assembly and genebuild.
