## Description

This track shows the contigs used to assemble the supercontigs in the draft assembly of the $organism genome.

Quote from genome.wustl.edu

"The Caenorhabditis remanei genome was sequenced to a depth of 9.2X using using plasmid and fosmid libraries made from DNA extracted from a mixed population of females and males from all developmental stages. Coverage was based on an expected genome size of 130 Mb. The whole-genome shotgun plasmid and fosmid paired-end reads were assembled using PCAP (Huang, X. et al. 2003). The sequence can be downloaded from the GSC ftp site."

The UCSC Genome browser displays the 3,670 scaffolds as a single artifical chromosome, chrUn. There are 138,406,203 base pairs of sequence with 10,705,348 N's in gaps.
