Description

This track shows the draft assembly catChrV17e (Dec. 2008, NHGRI/Genome Technology Branch (NCBI project 10703, accession GCA_000001445.1)) of the cat genome.

The cat genome assembly used paired-end fosmid ABI 3730 reads to add 0.9X coverage (from 6 other breeds and one wild cat) to the cinnamon assembly (1.9X, ANG00000000) and made 2.8X coverage. See also: Genome sequencing project by NHGRI/Genome Technology Branch description.

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 is always known; therefore, a line is drawn in the graphical display to bridge the blocks.

Components in this track are of types:

• "F": Finished sequence
• "W": WGS contig sequence
