Sheep - Texel (Oar_v3.1)

Sheep - Texel assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The Oar_v3.1 assembly was submitted by International Sheep Genome Consortium and last updated on 2014-01-02. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 130764 contigs assembled into 5697 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 40376 while the scaffold N50 is 100079507.
