Sheep - Kermani (ASM2243283v1)

Sheep - Kermani assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The ASM2243283v1 assembly was submitted by Northwest A&F University and last updated on 2022-11-06. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 1678 contigs assembled into 1545 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 80315026 while the scaffold N50 is 95518434.

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.
