Neurospora crassa Release 7 Details

Assembly Data

Release 7

February 17, 2005

Release 7 contains 850K of sequence not in release 6. This sequence was present in release 3 but has only recently come out of the finishing process.

  • 39 Mb total length of combined contigs (39,225,835 bp)
  • Contigs 6.1 to 6.141 correspond to contigs 7.1 to 7.141
  • Contigs 7.142 to 7.251 contain added sequence
  • Contig 6.15 (778,129 bases) was extended with new sequence to a total length of 817,408 bases.

Release 6

March 13, 2004

Neurospora crassa Sequence Release 6 represents the improved quality of the genome sequence resulting from ongoing laboratory and computer finishing work.

The goal of our finishing work has been to manually review and edit all sequence to achieve a uniform quality standard across the entire sequence and to close sequence gaps, those gaps that are spanned by one of our many different subclone types (either plasmid, cosmid, Fosmid, or BAC). In Release 6 all but 37 of the original 674 sequence gaps have been closed and, with the exception of a few regions containing ambiguous bases, the entire sequence has been brought to "finished" standards. Those gaps to do remain are represented by a sequence of 50 N's in the contigs.

  • Greater than 10X sequencing coverage of the genome
  • 141 contigs of finished quality
  • 156.2 kb average contig length

Supercontig/Contig Numbering

  • Supercontig and contig numbers are preceded by the version of the assembly. For example, 'Contig 7.25' refers to contig number 25 within release 7.

  • Contigs within supercontigs are ordered positionally. In this release, all supercontigs have only one contig.

    See Supercontig & Contig Table for a list of all supercontigs & contigs, or download a comma-separated file neurospora_crassa_7_contigs.csv.

    There is no correspondence between contig numbers in releases 6 or 7 and any previous assembly.
