Whole-genome sequence of the C57L/J mouse inbred strain

G3 (Bethesda). 2014 Jul 21;4(9):1689-92. doi: 10.1534/g3.114.012997.

Abstract

We sequenced the complete genome of the widely used C57L/J mouse inbred strain. With 40× average coverage, we compared the C57L/J sequence with that of the C57BL/6J and identified many known as well as novel private variants. This genome sequence adds another strain to the growing number of mouse inbred strains with complete genome sequences and is a valuable resource to the scientific community.

Keywords: genome; mouse; sequence.
