## Description

This track displays alignments of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Mouse Gene Index (Version 3) against the mouse genome.

## Methods

The index was assembled from Blat alignments of the following to the mouse genome ($db/$date):

- RefSeq (N = 23,345; 10/27/2003)
- Ensembl (N = 34,076; 02/13/2004)
- Riken (N = 60,484; 10/27/2003)
- GenBank (N=42,040)
- dbEST (N = 4,088,827; 01/22/2004)
- NIA (N=370,460)
