Abstract

Variation in the mouse genome The laboratory mouse has become the workhorse of biomedical research. The draft sequence of the mouse reference genome was published in 2002, but some forms of variation are still poorly documented. Two papers in this issue go a long way towards filling the gaps. The generation and analysis of sequence from 17 key mouse genomes, including most of the commonly used inbred strains and their progenitors, reveal extensive genetic variation and provide insights into the molecular nature of functional variants as well as the phylogenetic history of the lab mouse. The data will be an important resource for a new era of functional analysis. The second paper describes the landscape of structural variants in the genomes of 13 classical and four wild-derived inbred mouse strains, mapping many of them to base-pair resolution. Despite their prevalence, structural variants are shown to have a relatively small impact on phenotypic variation.
