The other piece of potentially useful information is below -- output  
from
SELECT * FROM `biosql`.`taxon_name` WHERE `taxon_id` = 138;
(taxon_id 138 maps to ncbi_taxon_id 10090)

taxon_id    name                            name_class
138         LK3 transgenic mice             includes
138         Mus muscaris                    misnomer
138         Mus musculus                    scientific name
138         Mus sp. 129SV                   includes
138         house mouse                     genbank common name
138         mice C57BL/6xCBA/CaJ hybrid     misspelling
138         mouse                           common name
138         nude mice                       includes
138         transgenic mice                 includes

The source from the genbank entry NM_017474 is:
SOURCE      Mus musculus (house mouse)

Which is why I think the issue is that the name_class is "genbank  
common name" rather than common name.
What does strike me as odd though is that not even "mouse" shows up --  
common_name is empty.

Thanks again,
Anand
