GRCm38mm10
GRCm38mm10 refers to the mouse reference genome assembly produced by the Genome Reference Consortium and commonly known as mm10. It represents GRCm38, the 38th release of the reference genome for the house mouse (Mus musculus). The designation mm10 is the naming convention used by many public resources, including UCSC, Ensembl, and NCBI, to denote this assembly.
Purpose and significance: GRCm38/mm10 provides a standardized coordinate system for aligning sequencing reads, calling variants, and
Content and scope: The assembly covers the majority of the mouse genome, roughly around 2.7 gigabases in
Availability and usage: GRCm38/mm10 is distributed by the Genome Reference Consortium and is mirrored by major
Updates and legacy: Since its release, researchers have issued patch builds and, later, newer assemblies (such
