Description

This track shows the gaps in the 18 Aug 2015 Pan paniscus/GCF_000258655.2_panpan1.1 genome assembly.

Genome assembly procedures are covered in the NCBI assembly documentation.
NCBI also provides specific information about this assembly.

The definition of the gaps in this assembly is from the AGP file: GCF_000258655.2_panpan1.1.agp.gz
The NCBI document AGP Specification describes the format of the AGP file.

Gaps are represented as black boxes in this track. If the relative order and orientation of the contigs 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 has 111,087 gaps, with the following principal types of gaps:

• short_arm - short arm gaps (count: 6; size range: 2,360,915 - 20,355,483 bases)
• centromere - gaps for centromeres are included when they can be reasonably localized (count: 17; size range: 1,180,355 - 27,648,129 bases)
• telomere - telomere gaps (count: 18; size range: 3,439 - 114,138,449 bases)
• contig - gaps between contigs in scaffolds (count: 693; size range: 1,000 - 4,486,829 bases)
• scaffold - gaps between scaffolds in chromosome assemblies (count: 110,353; size range: 20 - 8,710,964 bases)
