Panda

Assembly

ailMel1 is an assembly of the giant panda, sequenced using a three-year-old female panda at China's Chengdu breeding center. The genome sequencing and assembly are provided by the Bejing Genomics Institute (BGI).

The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer. The N50 size of the scaffolds is 1.3Mb. The total length of all scaffolds is 2.3Gb, for a genome size estimated to be 2.4Gb.
