Illumina data of C57BL/6J (B6)
The current Adam and Eve were F223 and this Eve is the female that we have generated high coverage short read Illumina data, as well as high coverage PacBio data and BioNanoGenomics scaffolding data. Any C57BL/6J mouse ordered from JAX will never be more than 10 generations removed from Eve. In choosing a sample for de novo assembly, we favored Eve over an archival sample from 1998 because the mice that people are using today are closer to Eve.
