Genome information#

Genome assembly score#

Genome assemblies are ranked by a quality score.

These scores are solely meant to rank the assemblies and be able to show and recommend a best available assembly per strain.

Assembly score calculation#

Condition Score adjustment
Start value score = 100
Not included in RefSeq score – 25
GenBank status “suppressed” score - 50
GenBank status “replaced” score - 30
Number of contigs score – (number of contigs / 5)
CheckM completeness score – (100 – completeness)
CheckM contamination score – contamination

Negative scores are set to zero.

Genome browser#

For each strain, the best genome assembly that is available in the INSDC databases (GenBank, ENA, DDBJ) is displayed in a genome browser. The annotations shown in the genome browser were created using the Bakta tool.

Genome browser

The genome browser

All contigs of the assembly are listed as buttons in a box in the upper left corner of the genome browser . The button for the contig currently displayed in the viewer is highlighted in dark gray. Clicking on a different contig button changes the display.

An annotation summary box can be found in the upper right corner .

The viewer consists of two panels. The upper panel shows annotations on the forward (top) and reverse strands (bottom) over the complete selected contig . The area highlighted by the red sliding window is shown in greater detail in the bottom panel of the viewer . The selected area can be manipulated by sliding the red highlighter or by typing coordinates into the 'Start' and 'End' input fields above the viewer .

Users can explore features annotated on the genome further by clicking the 'Show feature table' button . This opens a searchable and filterable list of all annotations.

Genome browser feature table

The feature table with active filters

The feature table can be filtered by feature type and contig and be searched by text . Active filters are shown above the table and can be deactivated by clicking the red active filter buttons .

Clicking on a feature in the bottom panel of the viewer or in the feature table opens a detail view displaying the gene sequence of the feature.
