Posted by michael on from the if-you've-got-the-time,-we've-got-the-mouse dept.

rbreve writes "Celera Genomics said on Thursday it had come close to unraveling the complete genome sequence of three strains of mice. The U.S. company said it had sequenced 9.3 billion base pairs, or letters of genetic code, of DNA for the three types of mouse, about 95% of the mouse genome." The BBC has the story.
