Genotyping

Collaborative Cross mice genomes are available below.
Diversity Outbred mice may be genotyped using the GigaMUGA through Neogen. They are currently the only vendor who can process the GigaMUGA.

Diversity Outbred Genome Report

This report details the founder allele frequencies across the genome. This may be useful if you suspect are investigating a specific founder allele at a specific position.

Founder Denovo Genome Assemblies

These data were generated by the Wellcome Sanger Mouse Genome Project. The conditions of use laid out by the authors are as follows:

"In this study, we have produced reference quality chromosome scale genomes for both classical and wild derived inbred laboratory mouse genomes. These genomes were produced using third generation long reads and Hi-C. The genomes and gene annotation are also available via the Ensembl and UCSC genome browsers. The Mouse Genomes Project releases genome sequence data, SNPs and other variant calls as a service to the research community. These data are released in accordance with the Fort Lauderdale agreement and Toronto agreements. As producers of these data we reserve the right to be the first to publish a genome-wide analysis of the data we have generated. The pre-publication data that we release is embargoed for publication except for analyses of single chromosomes in single strains or single gene loci across multiple strains. We strongly encourage researchers to contact us if there are any queries about referencing or publishing analysis based on pre-publication data obtained via this website (Email: mousegenomes@sanger.ac.uk OR the PI, Thomas Keane, tk2@ebi.ac.uk).
