Genome Reference Consortium GRCm38, UCSC version mm10

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest Genome Browser for the December 2011 Mouse genome assembly. The Mus musculus genome assembly (Genome Reference Consortium GRCm38, UCSC version mm10) was produced by the Mouse Genome Reference Consortium.

GRCm38 includes approximately 2.6 Gb of sequence and is considered to be "essentially complete". The assembly includes chromosomes 1-19, X, Y, M (mitochondrial DNA) and chr*_random (unlocalized) and chrUn_* (unplaced clone contigs). For information about the process used to assemble this version, please see the GRC website.

Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads page.

The Mouse browser annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. See the Credits page for a detailed list of the organizations and individuals who contributed to the success of this release.
