Pig - Norwegian Landrace (norwegian_landrace)

Pig - Norwegian Landrace assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The norwegian_landrace assembly was submitted by NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES and last updated on 2024-09-06. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 54 contigs assembled into 54 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 142074565 while the scaffold N50 is 142074565.

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.
