Pig - HJB (ASM4490618v1)

Pig - HJB assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The ASM4490618v1 assembly was submitted by Northwest A&F University College of Animal Science and Technology and last updated on 2024-11-19. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 8722 contigs assembled into 8508 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 47507740 while the scaffold N50 is 138906736.

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.
