The February 2006 mouse (Mus musculus) genome data were obtained from the Build 36 "essentially complete" assembly by NCBI and the Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium.
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic clone, an mRNA or EST or STS marker, or a cytological band, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list provides examples of various types of position queries for the mouse genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

NCBI Build 36, which includes approximately 2.6 Gb of sequence, is considered to be "essentially complete". The assembly includes chromosomes 1-19, X, Y, M (mitochondrial DNA) and Un (unmapped clone contigs). More information about this version is available on the NCBI Build 36 Data web page.
For information about the process used to assemble this version, see the NCBI website. On chromosome Y in this assembly, only the short arm has reliable mapping data; therefore, most of the contigs on the Y chromosome are unplaced. Note that the UCSC mm8 database contains only the reference strain C57BL/6J.
The mm8 sequence and annotation data can be downloaded from the Genome Browser FTP server or Downloads web page. The mm8 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 this release.
