## Description

This track shows the whole genome shotgun (WGS) contigs of the March 2006 $organism Zv6 assembly from The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

Following the assembly of sequence to WGS contigs, contigs were mapped to scaffolds (supercontigs). A fingerprinted contigs (FPC) map was produced by restriction enzyme digestion with HindIII. Clones were selected from this for high quality sequencing. To create the Zv6 assembly, the scaffolds were tied to this FPC map. The chrFinished scaffolds from the Zv3 assembly (danRer1) have been placed on chromosomes since the Zv4 assembly (danRer2). For more information about the assembly, see the assembly track description and the Danio rerio Sequencing Project page at Sanger.

The assembly contains 6,653 scaffolds having an N50 length of 1,247 kb (n = 327). Of these, a total of 2,966 scaffolds are in the unordered chromosomes: 68 in chrUn_random, and 2,898 in chrNA.
