## Description

This track shows the draft assembly (Sep. 2007, TIGR and the Sanger Institute) of the $organism genome. See also: "Draft genome of the filarial nematode parasite Brugia malayi.", Science, 2007 Sep 21; 317(5845):1756-60 and the, AAQA01 WGS information.

Whole-genome shotgun reads were assembled into contigs. When possible, contigs were grouped into scaffolds (also known as "supercontigs"). The order, orientation and gap sizes between contigs within a scaffold are based on paired-end read evidence.

In dense mode, this track depicts the contigs that make up the currently viewed scaffold. Contig boundaries are distinguished by the use of alternating gold and brown coloration. Where gaps exist between contigs, spaces are shown between the gold and brown blocks. The relative order and orientation of the contigs within a scaffold is always known; therefore, a line is drawn in the graphical display to bridge the blocks.

All components within this track are of fragment type "D": Whole Genome Shotgun draft contig. The mitochondrial genome sequence is included under the name of "chrM" from the genbank accession: NC_004298.1 and is type "F": finished sequence.

This draft assembly is composed of 27,211 contigs for a total size of 95,828,100 nucleotides. The largest contig, Bmal_supercontig14972, is 6,534,162 nucleotides. One half of the sequence, 47,914,050 bases, is contained in 253 contigs, all of at least 37,841 bases (N50). There are 59,379 sequences of gap in these contigs, for a total of 6,592,564 nucleotides indicated in the sequence by "N".
