The completion of human and mouse genome sequences provides a valuable resource for decoding other mammalian genomes. The comparative mapping by annotation and sequence similarity (COMPASS) strategy takes advantage of the resource and has been used in several genome-mapping projects. It uses existing comparative genome maps based on conserved regions to predict map locations of a sequence. An automated multiple-species COMPASS tool can facilitate in the genome sequencing effort and comparative genomics study of other mammalian species.
