This track shows the Ensembl gene, version 86, annotations on
the 09 May 2016 Mus musculus (house mouse)/GCA_001632525.1_BALB_cJ_v1 genome assembly.
These gene predictions were generated by Ian Fiddes at UCSC as part of the Mouse Genomes Project.
Annotations from GENCODE VM8 were projected through a whole genome alignment on to each strain
assembly, and then cleaned up using a special parameterization of the gene-finding tool AUGUSTUS.
Ab-initio transcripts were also predicted using another parameterization of AUGUSTUS called
Comparative Augustus, or AugustusCGP. These transcript sets were then combined into a final gene set
using a consensus finding algorithm, and given unique identifiers. See
Mouse Genomes Annotation Pipeline for more details.
Gene count: 102,155; Bases covered: 1,107,682,801
