The August 2004 Drosophila mojavensis genome assembly was produced by Agencourt Bioscience (now a part of Beckman Coulter Genomics) and can be downloaded here. To see a list of the assembly's largest 1000 contigs ranked by size, click here.

### Sample position queries

A genome position can be specified by a contig coordinate range, the accession number of an mRNA or RefSeq entry, a gene name, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the D. mojavensis genome. Note that some position queries (e.g. "huntington") may return matches to the mRNA records of other species. In these cases, the mRNAs are mapped to their homologs in D. mojavensis. See the User's Guide for more information.

### Assembly details

Agencourt produced the 11 August 2004 assembly using the Arachne assembler. The assembly contains 38,423 contigs ranging in size from 452 bases to 332,654 bases, with a mean size of mean 4940.1 and a median of 1273.

Bulk downloads of the sequence and annotation data are available via the Genome Browser FTP server or the Downloads page. The droMoj1 annotation tracks were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.
