Description

This track depicts gaps in the draft assembly (Oct. 2011, Fugu Genome Sequencing Consortium - FUGU5 (NCBI project 1434, GCA_000180615.2)) of the fugu genome.

Gaps are represented as black boxes in this track. If the relative order and orientation of the scaffolds on either side of the gap is supported by read pair data, it is a bridged gap and a white line is drawn through the black box representing the gap.

This assembly contains the following principal types of gaps:

  • fragment - gaps between the Whole Genome Shotgun contigs of a scaffold. (In this context, a contig is a set of overlapping sequence reads. A scaffold is a set of contigs ordered and oriented during the Whole Genome Shotgun process using paired-end reads.) These are represented by varying numbers of Ns in the assembly. Fragment gap sizes are usually taken from read pair data.
  • contig - gaps between scaffolds not linked by the fingerprint map, but instead by marker data. (In this context, the "Contig" gap type refers to a map contig, not a sequence contig.)
  • These are represented by 60 Ns in the assembly.
  • other - gaps that UCSC has marked where Ns are in the assembly but were unmarked in the AGP file from the assembly definition.
