Description
This track shows the coverage level of the genome and, in full display mode,
the position of each clone that aligns to the genome sequence. For more
information on the track display, see the Display Conventions section.
Each clone is assigned one of three coverage levels, which may be viewed
in the "Status" field on the details page for the clone:
- Finished - less than one error in 10,000 bases.
- Draft - more than 4x coverage.
- Predraft - less than 4x coverage.
Display Conventions and Configuration
In dense display mode, this track shows the coverage level of
the genome. Finished regions are depicted in black. Draft regions
are shown in various shades of gray that correspond
to the level of coverage. At high resolution these usually
resolve into gaps between clones.
In full display mode, this track shows the position of each
clone that aligns to the genome sequence. Where fragments of
a clone do not form a continuous alignment, individual
fragments are displayed against a gray background and
numbered.
Methods
Clones from the National Center for Biotechnology Information
(NCBI) were aligned to the genome using
psLayout. Where a clone
record contained unordered fragments, fragments were individually
aligned, then clustered about a median value and displayed together
if they align with gaps no greater than 60 kb. Some fragments in an
original clone record may not be displayed.
Credits
This annotation was devised by Jim Kent, with further engineering by
Hiram Clawson.
