Description
This track shows the draft assembly (Mar. 2012, RGSC Rnor_5.0 (GCA_000001895.3))
of the rat genome. Whole-genome shotgun reads were assembled into contigs
and when possible, contigs were grouped into scaffolds (also known as
"supercontigs"). The order, orientation and gap sizes between contigs
within a scaffold are based on paired-end read evidence.
In dense mode, this track depicts the contigs that make up the currently viewed
scaffold. Contig boundaries are distinguished by the use of alternating gold and brown
coloration. Where gaps exist between contigs, spaces are shown between the gold and brown
blocks. The relative order and orientation of the contigs within a scaffold are always
known; therefore, a line is drawn in the graphical display to bridge the blocks.
All components within this track, with the exception of the mitochondrial sequence
(chrM, NC_001665), are of fragment type "W": Whole Genome Shotgun
contig. The mitochondrial sequence is type "F": finished.
