Comment

This chromosome-level assembly of the NA19420 genome, NA19240_prelim_3.0, is a draft and represents a work in progress. It will subsequently be re-submitted with BACs incorporated into regions of the genome that are difficult to assemble. Also, single allelic representations ... of specific regions will be added when available.
Sequence Assembly Release Notes for Homo sapiens NA19240_prelim_3.
 Background:
 DNA used for shotgun sequencing is derived from the blood, b-lymphocytes cells, of an adult female, identified as NA19240 (Coriell Institute for Medical Research). The NA19420 genome is diploid and from a Yoruban family trio Y117. Sequence from this project will be used to improve the contiguity of the human reference sequence and add diverse allelic variation.
 Total sequence (subreads) input coverage on the PacBio RS II instrument was 70x prior to error correction using a genome size estimate of 3Gb. The combined sequence reads were assembled using the Falcon software, and then error corrected using the Quiver and Pilon algorithms. Contigs of 200 bp or less have been excluded from NA19240_prelim_3.0.
