Pig - Duroc (Ninghe_Sus_1)

Pig - Duroc assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The Ninghe_Sus_1 assembly was submitted by China Agricultural University and last updated on 2023-01-29. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 1660 contigs assembled into 70 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 4265198 while the scaffold N50 is 137575542.

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.
