HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To foster its mission to accelerate the pace of medical breakthroughs, the Texas Institute for Genomic Medicine (TIGM), based in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas, has responded to the National Institutes of Health’s call for mouse genetic sequence data to be shared with the scientific research community worldwide. As a result, TIGM recently submitted 276,372 nucleotide sequence tags generated from its world’s largest gene trap library of C57BL/6 mouse embryonic stem cells, to the Genome Survey Sequences division of the GenBank® database. The sequence data submission will provide scientists with valuable information in their research efforts to understand and treat the underlying genetic causes of chronic human diseases and conditions.
