Description

The second draft assembly of the Fugu genome consists of 12,403 contigs, or scaffolds. The individual contigs sizes range from 2-650K bp. The draft sequence of the fugu genome available covers 320 Mbases of DNA sequence. We estimate that this covers approximately 90% of the non-repetitive fraction of the genome, which has a total size, including repeats, of approximately 365 Mbases.

Methods

The alignments were done with blat in translated protein mode requiring 2 nearby 4-mer matches to trigger a detailed alignment. The human genome was masked with RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder before running blat.
