Description

This track shows the draft assembly (Oct. 2011, Fugu Genome Sequencing Consortium - FUGU5 (NCBI project 1434, GCA_000180615.2)) of the fugu genome. Whole-genome shotgun reads were assembled into scaffolds. When possible, scaffolds were grouped into chromosomes. The order, orientation and gap sizes between scaffolds within a chromosome are based on paired-end read evidence.

Please note additional information about his assembly at the International Fugu Genome Sequencing Consortium,

In dense mode, this track depicts the scaffolds that make up the currently viewed chromosome. Scaffold boundaries are distinguished by the use of alternating gold and brown coloration. Where gaps exist between scaffolds, spaces are shown between the gold and brown blocks. The relative order and orientation of the scaffolds within a chromosome is always known; therefore, a line is drawn in the graphical display to bridge the blocks.

Approximately 28% of the assembly (109,895,906 bases) has not been ordered in the assembly and is included in the genome browser as 6,812 scaffolds with their genbank identifier as their name, for example: HE591497 The fugu mitochondrial sequence is also available as the virtual chromosome "chrM"(NC_004299).

All components within this track are of fragment type "W": Whole Genome Shotgun contig. The mitochondrial sequence is marked as fragment type "F", finished.
