Dog - German Shepherd assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The UU_Cfam_GSD_1.0 assembly was submitted by Uppsala University and last updated on 2026-03-26. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 2783 contigs assembled into 2198 scaffolds. The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer. The N50 length for the contigs is 14840767 while the scaffold N50 is 64299765.

Gene annotation

Genome annotation was generated using the Ensembl vertebrate annotation pipeline.

In accordance with the Fort Lauderdale Agreement, please check the publication status of the genome/assembly before publishing any genome-wide analyses using these data.
