This is the first release of the low-coverage 1.85X assembly of the
kangaroo rat (dipodomys ordii). The genome sequencing is provided by
the Human Genome Sequencing Center,
Baylor College of Medicine and assembly is provided by the
Broad Institute.
The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer. The N50 length for supercontigs is 31.47 kb and is 4.29 kb for contigs. The total number of bases in supercontigs is 2.05 Gb and in contigs is 1.84 Gb.
