Details

This track depicts gaps in the assembly of human genome. Gaps are represented as black boxes in this track. This assembly contains the following principal types of gaps: (In this context, a contig is a set of overlapping sequence reads.) Clone - gaps between clones (114 gaps). Contig - gaps between map contigs, various sizes (104 gaps). Telomere - 42 gaps for telomeres (100,000 Ns) Centromere - 20 gaps for centromeres (size: 2,890,000 Ns) Short_arm - 21 gaps for the short arm (10,000 Ns) at base positions 100, 001-110,000 of each chromosome. other - sequence of Ns in the assembly that were not marked as gaps in the AGP assembly definition file, various sizes (384 gaps). Fragment - a single gap of 31 bases in chrX_GL456233_random.

Value

data.frame that contain the gaps in the assembly of the human genome.
