Table 2.

Tracking contiguity of the genome assembly across versions using 4 common metrics: Scaffold N50, size of the smallest scaffold comprising the largest 50% of the assembly; Scaffold L50 number of scaffolds comprising the largest 50% of the genome; Scaffolds, total number of scaffolds comprising the full assembly; Size, the approximate number of base pairs in the assembly. BUSCO—percent complete Core Vertebrate Genes (CVG)
