Pig - NIHS-2020 (ASM1855540v1)

Pig - NIHS-2020 assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The ASM1855540v1 assembly was submitted by National Institute of Health Sciences and last updated on 2021-05-27. The assembly is on the contig level, consisting of 1001 contigs assembled into 1001 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 24612887 while the scaffold N50 is 24612887.

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.
