The February 2002 mouse (Mus musculus) genome assembly is based on the MGSCv3 Whole Genome Shotgun assembly produced at the Broad Institute using their Arachne software.
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.
