Telomere-to-telomere assemblies of two mouse inbred strains, C57BL/6J and CAST/EiJ, offer improvements over the current mouse reference genome by adding telomere and centromere sequences that lead to insights into variability in telomere and centromere sizes and organization, and the discovery of 225 and 355 new genes for C57BL/6J and CAST/EiJ, respectively.
