  • scaffold and contig

    Hi all,
    Does somebody know what's scaffold and the differences between scaffold and contigs? Thank you very much.

    A contig is a contiguous length of genomic sequence.
    A scaffold is composed of contigs and gaps. Gap length can be guessed by incorporating information from paired ends or mate pairs (difference between the two).

      Thank you very much. I understand it now.

          at genbank's mallard genome ftp, they give an ~1.1GB fasta
          file of "unplaced scaffolds" with 78487 sequences
          of length 100-5998093
          When I try to match them to the chicken chromosome 1
          then I get a continuous distribution in matching subsequences.
          Shouldn't there be a sharp peak for those mallard "scaffolds"
          that are from chromosome 1 , shouldn't they be detectable this way ?

          15% of chicken and turkey 28-subsequences
          in chromosome 1 do match
          only ~3% in chicken vs.human or chr1 vs. chr2

          chromosomes are not available for mallards at genbank

          I found:
          > An in silico digest of the chicken genome, which is very similar [25,26], predicts similar genome
          > fractions of the RRLs of 4.1% for AluI, but only 0.2% for HhaI (data not shown).

          don't know what that means

            Funny indeed

              by seqadmin




              Many organizations study rare diseases, but few have a mission as impactful as Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM). “We are all about changing outcomes for children,” explained Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of the group. The institute’s initial goal was to provide rapid diagnoses for critically ill children and shorten their diagnostic odyssey, a term used to describe the long and arduous process it takes patients to obtain an accurate...
