Figure 1

Panel A shows a graphical representation of distribution of the contig-per-transcript coverage for the Ferret_seq1 and Ferret_seq2 sequence assemblies. The majority of the transcripts were represented by a single contig (66%, in dark blue). 13% of the transcripts had two individual contigs covering parts of the gene (red). 7.5% of the genes were encompassed by three contigs (green), 4.5% of four contigs (purple), 3% by five contigs (turquoise), 2% by six contigs (orange), 1.3% by seven contigs(light blue) and 1% were covered by eight contigs. The genes covered by nine or more contigs represent approximately 2% when added together (not shown). Panel B shows the biological process distribution as per GO ontology analysis of the annotated contigs.
