Finishing the mouse genome.
An article published in the May issue of PLoS Biology reports on the completion of the mouse genome (see Church et al., e1000112). This genome assembly was constructed from a single inbred stain, C57BL/6J (featured in the center of the photo). A more-complete genome assembly reveals not only how mice differ from humans, but also shows how various strains can differ from each other.
