Description

This track shows the scaffolds present in the Amel_2.0 draft assembly of the A. mellifera genome produced by the human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor School of Medicine. Amel_2.0 was created from a combination of whole genome shotgun and BAC sequencing methods and was produced using Baylor HGSC's assembly engine, Atlas. Approximately 2.7 million reads were assembled, representing about 1.8 Gb of sequence and about 7.5x coverage of the (clonable) honeybee genome.

The assembly consists of 7,655 scaffolds clustered into 17 linkage groups. Some scaffolds contain ordered and oriented sequence contigs; others contain isolated single contigs that could not be linked. Contigs that could not be placed into groups are contained in GroupUn. The N50 size of the contigs in this assembly is 36 Kb; the N50 size of the scaffolds is 343 Kb. The total contig length in the assembly is 225 Mb, and the total span of the assembly is 229 Mb including gaps. For more details about this assembly, see the Baylor Amel_2.0 README.
