Tags
Description
As shown here, a [[contig]] is a collection of clones that have overlapping pieces of DNA from a particular chromosome. The numbers denote the order of the members of the contig. The chromosome is labelled with letters that denote the locations of particular genes. The members of the contig have overlapping regions that share some of the same genes, which allows researchers to order them.
