Description

In dense display mode, this track shows the coverage level of the genome. Finished regions are depicted in black. Draft regions are shown in various shades of gray that correspond to the level of coverage. At high resolution these usually resolve into gaps between clones.

In full display mode, this track shows the position of each clone that aligns to the genome sequence. Where fragments of a clone do not form a continuous alignment, individual fragments are displayed against a gray background and numbered.

There are three levels in the Status field:

Methods

Clones from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) were aligned to the genome using psLayout. Where a clone record contained unordered fragments, fragments were individually aligned, then clustered about a median value and displayed together if they align with gaps no greater than 60 kb. Some fragments in an original clone record may not be displayed.

This track was devised by Jim Kent, with further engineering by Hiram Clawson.
