| About Chimpanzee Ensembl |
|
|
This site provides a data set based on the November
13th 2003 chimp assembly from the Chimpanzee Sequencing
Consortium headed by the GSC (St. Louis) and The Broad Institute (MIT).
The assembly is a merge of a "modified de
novo" (MDN) assembly from the ARACHNE group, which used the human genome to establish that
particular inserts were not chimeric, and a separate "validated
chimp-on-human" (VCH) assembly which took the chimp reads which align
uniquely to human, formed them into contigs via this alignment, and
removed contigs which failed a two-haplotype consistency check.
Shared reads were used to align the two assemblies to each other, and where they were consistent, the VCH sequence was transferred to the MDN, resulting in the released merged assembly.
This release of the assembly has the following properties:
361782 contigs, having N50 length 15.7 kb
contig length total 2.73 Gb, spanning 3.02 Gb
37849 supercontigs, having N50 length 8.6 Mb (not including gaps).
See here for more information about the chimpanzee gene build.
