Assembly: C. elegans Oct. 2010 (WS220/ce10)
Data last updated at UCSC: 2011-05-23

Description

This track shows the finished assembly of the C. elegans genome. This assembly merges contigs from overlapping drafts and finished clones into longer sequence contigs. The sequence contigs are ordered and oriented when possible by mRNA, EST, paired plasmid reads (from the SNP Consortium) and BAC end sequence pairs. In the WS220 assembly, all clones are finished and are of clone type "F".

In dense mode, this track depicts the path through the finished clones (aka the golden path) used to create the assembled sequence. Clone boundaries are distinguished by the use of alternating gold and brown coloration. There are no gaps in this assembly.

The Oct. 2010 (WS220/ce10) C. elegans assembly is based on sequence version WS220 deposited into WormBase as of Jan. 2010. The sequence was produced jointly by the Sanger Institute in Hinxton, England and The Genome Institute at Washington University in St. Louis.
