This track shows the draft assembly (Feb. 2010, ISGC (NCBI project 10703, accession GCA_000005525.1)) of the $organism genome. The genome has been sequenced to 3X coverage using 454 FLX sequencing. Contigs were assembled based on alignment to the bovine genome and ordered into ovine chromosomes using BAC-end sequences and the virtual sheep genome. See also: International Sheep Genomics Consortium Genome Sequencing Project 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:
