Posters presented at the BC Cancer Agency's Annual Conference 2002 by the Genome Sciences Centre are available for download.

Mouse Physical Map Completed

The completed compilation of the physical map of the mouse genome was announced in an article in the journal Nature. The public effort of mapping the mouse genome was carried out at the Genome Sciences Centre. The map of the mouse leverages the already completed human physical map and nearly completed human sequence assembly .
