Description

This track depicts gaps in the Jan. 2010 Nomascus leucogenys (Northern White-Cheeked Gibbon) draft assembly (NCBI project 13975, GCA_000146795.1) produced by the Gibbon Genome Sequencing Consortium (the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University and Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center).

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 contains the following principal types of gaps:

Fragment - Gaps between the Whole Genome Shotgun contigs of a supercontig. These are represented by varying numbers of Ns in the assembly. In this context, a contig is a set of overlapping sequence reads and a supercontig is a set of contigs ordered and oriented during the Whole Genome Shotgun process using paired-end reads. Fragment gap sizes are usually taken from read pair data.
