Where can I find mouse BAM files?

Hello, I'm working on a CNV project and I've reached a step where I'm in need of some mouse BAM files to test CNV tools with.

Thing is, as far as I can tell, the only files that are available through databanks are only compatible with mm38. Is there anywhere I can find mm39 BAM files? Or do I have to do the mapping for them myself? Please tell me if I haven't been clear enough.

Thanks!

Why don't you find papers that benchmark CNV tools and use their data? Yes, you might need to remap to mm39 as the genome is relatively recent.

SRA has a quite advanced search logic. A maximally restrictive query could look approximately like this:

("Mus musculus"[Organism] AND "wgs"[Strategy] AND "filetype bam"[Properties]) AND ("illumina"[Platform]) OR "oxford nanopore"[Platform]) OR "pacbio smrt"[Platform] OR "element"[Platform]) AND ("mm39"[All Fields] OR "GRCm39"[All Fields] OR "GCF_000001635.27"[All Fields])

It indeed doesn't find anything yet, but you can try expanding your search my tweaking the query to what is tolerable for your purpose. Is there a specific reason why you need mm39 specifically?
