Pig - Large White (GCA_044906105.1) (ASM4490610v1)

Pig - Large White (GCA_044906105.1) assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The ASM4490610v1 assembly was submitted by Northwest A&F University and last updated on 2024-11-19. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 4967 contigs assembled into 143 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 43824660 while the scaffold N50 is 140102113.

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.
