An international consortium has constructed a map of the mouse (Mus musculus) genome. It provides a framework on which genomicists now will assemble the whole-genome shotgun sequence data. "A physical map of a genome is an essential guide for navigation, allowing the location of any gene or other landmark in the chromosomal DNA, "the team explains in Nature, dated July 31, 2002. Their paper is titled: "A physical map of the mouse genome."
The co-authors comprise the usual genome-sequencing suspects - Sangar Institute in Cambridge, ...
