The mouse genome project is a broad international collaboration, including a genome-wide sequencing programme, targetted sequencing programmes; cDNA sequencing programmes and informatics programmes. The Mouse Genome Sequeuncing Consortium (MGSC) is a collaboration of four centres, working on a genome-wide basis to generate a finished sequence of the mouse genome, dovetailing with a number of targetted sequencing programmes.
A physical map of the mouse genome has been built using resources developed by the following centres:
Incorporated into the final sequence of the mouse genome will be the sequence of regions targetted by specific projects. These include:
The effort to distribute and provide links to related databases is a worldwide collaboration that includes:
