A mouse strain assembly hub is now available and shows an alignment of 16 assembled laboratory mice strains, including the reference mouse (mm10) as well as the reference rat (rn6). This hub contains some of the most common mice strains used in disease models such as NOD, BALB/c, and C3H. Each mouse strain in the assembly hub is displayed as the primary sequence along with strain-specific annotations. You can load this hub from our Public Hubs or the following page.

Along with the release of this assembly hub, a new track is available for mm10. The Mouse SNPs track shows single nucleotide variants between the different strains of mice and all SNP and indel calls are relative to the reference mouse genome (GRCm38/mm10).

Special thanks to Joel Armstrong, Ian Fiddles, and Benedict Paten for the alignment generation, as well as Thomas Keane and the Mouse Genomes Project for providing the genome assemblies. Thanks to Hiram Clawson and Jairo Navarro for the development and release of this track and hub.
