Atlantic salmon - North American origin Brian (Ssal_Brian_v1.0)

Atlantic salmon - North American origin Brian assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The Ssal_Brian_v1.0 assembly was submitted by NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES and last updated on 2023-04-07. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 2991 contigs assembled into 2979 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 27893759 while the scaffold N50 is 27893759.

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.
