Hello,

You are correct, there is no UniGene track for mouse. The recommended track for 
genes is the UCSC Genes track (it combines several input sources and provides a 
comprehensive gene summary). However, you can create a Unigene custom track 
yourself by using BLAT.

The general idea is to install BLAT, obtain the query sequences from UniGene 
and the genomic sequence from UCSC, then run/filter the output (perhaps using 
rules similar to ours, as explained in the human UniGene track description 
page, Methods section).

Once completed, you can use the utility "pslToBed" from the Kent source tree to 
create the final BED file.

You can load the data as a custom track in PSL or BED format to view your data 
versus other annotation if you wish.

Thanks,
Jennifer
