An ideogram representation of the latest mouse assembly, GRCm38.p2 (not showing unplaced or unlocalized sequences).

The GRC is working hard to provide the best possible reference assembly for mouse. We do this by both generating multiple representations (alternate loci) for regions that are too complex to be represented by a single path. Additionally, we are releasing regional fixes known as patches. This allows users who are interested in a specific locus to get an improved representation without affecting users who need chromosome coordinate stability.
