Info • Postia placenta MAD 698-R v1.0

Status

v.1.0 (September 2006): Postia placenta genome assembly v1.0. The assembly release of whole genome shotgun reads was constructed with the JGI assembler, Jazz, using paired end sequencing reads at a coverage of 7.23X. After trimming for vector and quality, 574,631 reads assembled into 1243 scaffolds totaling 90.9 Mbp.

Since Postia placenta is known to be highly polymorphic with a polymorphism rate in the neighborhood of 3-4%, this particular assembly uses extra stringent parameters that should only assemble sections of the genome that are more than 99% identical.

The current draft release, version 1.0, includes a total of 17,173 gene models predicted and functionally annotated using the JGI annotation pipeline.
