Table 1:
Assembly statistics comparing the previous chimpanzee assembly, our intermediary assembly based on the 3-way hybrid and the finished assembly Pan_tro_3.0
| Pan_tro_2.1.4 | 3-way hybrid (intermediary) | Pan_tro_3.0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scaffold N50, bp | 8 925 874 | 26 681 610 | 26 972 556 |
| Contig N50, bp | 50 665 | 282 774 | 384 816 |
| Contig N90, bp | 7231 | 41 655 | 53 112 |
| Assembly length, bp | 3 309 577 923 | 2 992 696 208 | 3 231 154 112 |
| Assembly length w/o Ns, bp | 2 902 338 968 | 2 990 712 612 | 3 132 603 062 |
| Scaffolds | 24 129 | 45 000 | 44 448 |
| Contigs | 183 827 | 76 674 | 72 226 |
| Gaps | 159 698 | 31 674 | 26 715 |
In this context, we defined gaps at stretches of at least 10 consecutive “Ns” in the assembly. Contigs are defined as contiguous stretches of sequence without gaps.
