## Description

This track depicts gaps in the $organism assembly. These gaps - with the exception of intractable heterochromatic gaps - will be closed during the finishing process.

Gaps are represented as black boxes in this track. If the relative order and orientation of the contigs on either side of the gap is known, it is a bridged gap and a white line is drawn through the black box representing the gap.

This assembly contains only one type of gap: contig gaps. These are gaps of 5000 bp between the scaffolds ("super-contigs") constructed from the whole genome shotgun (WGS) contigs. On the virtual chromosomes containing scaffolds that could not be confidently placed on a chromosome (e.g. chrUn and chrNA), 500 bp gaps have been inserted between scaffolds.
