Three-spined sticklebacki - Marine BAM (BAM)

Three-spined sticklebacki - Marine BAM assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The BAM assembly was submitted by Institute of Ecology and Evolution and last updated on 2019-06-11. The assembly is on the scaffold level, consisting of 45706 contigs assembled into 25430 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 24675 while the scaffold N50 is 491022.

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.
