The Sep. 2007 Brugia malayi draft assembly is produced by TIGR and the Sanger Institute. See also: Draft genome of the filarial nematode parasite Brugia malayi., Science, 2007 Sep 21; 317(5845):1756-60 and the AAQA01 WGS information.

Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the B. malayi genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

Assembly details

This draft assembly is composed of 27,211 supercontigs for a total size of 95,828,100 nucleotides. The largest supercontig, Bmal_supercontig14972, is 6,534,162 nucleotides. One half of the sequence, 47,914,050 bases, is contained in 253 supercontigs, all of at least 37,841 bases (N50). There are 59,379 sequences of gap in these supercontigs, for a total of 6,592,564 nucleotides indicated in the sequence by "N".
