Sheep - Polled Dorset assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The ASM2241691v1 assembly was submitted by Northwest A&F University and last updated on 2023-02-16. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 1297 contigs assembled into 1242 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 92422466 while the scaffold N50 is 96526831.

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.
