Atlantic salmon - North American Atlantic Salmon assembly and gene annotation

Assembly

The USDA_NASsal_1.1 assembly was submitted by USDA/ARS and last updated on 2023-07-06. The assembly is on the chromosome level, consisting of 3008 contigs assembled into 1755 scaffolds. 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 the contigs is 4207077 while the scaffold N50 is 16202286.

Gene annotation

Genome annotation was generated using the Ensembl vertebrate annotation pipeline.

In accordance with the Fort Lauderdale Agreement, please check the publication status of the genome/assembly before publishing any genome-wide analyses using these data.
