Hi,

I was wondering which NCBI reference genome assembly to use for mouse GRCm38, if I don't want to use the UCSC mm10. I thought the FTP-site of the Sanger mouse genomes project might be a good place to check: ftp://ftp-mouse.sanger.ac.uk/ref/ Does anyone know what the 68 refers to in the file name - [GRCm38_68.fa][1]?

Many thanks,  
Lorna

<p>This is one, but from ensembl --&gt; ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-68/fasta/mus_musculus/dna/. Inappropriate?<br />
<br />
This Ensembl version (release 68) corresponds to GRCm38 (mm10) (https://www.biostars.org/p/52254/)<br />
<br />
Some sorces to download mm10 genome version:<br />
