Sheep (ARS-UI_Ramb_v3.0)

Sheep assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The ARS-UI_Ramb_v3.0 assembly was submitted by University of Idaho and last updated on 2024-07-26. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 227 contigs assembled into 143 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 43178051 while the scaffold N50 is 101274418.
