An article published in the May issue of PLoS Biology reports on the completion of the mouse genome (see Church et al., e1000112). This genome assembly was constructed from a single inbred stain, C57BL/6J (featured in the center of the photo). A more-complete genome assembly reveals not only how mice differ from humans, but also shows how various strains can differ from each other.
