Pig USMARC (USMARCv1.0)

Pig USMARC assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The USMARCv1.0 assembly was submitted by USDA ARS and last updated on 2022-12-29. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 14818 contigs assembled into 14157 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 6372407 while the scaffold N50 is 131458098.

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.
