Problem in herring assembly of chromosome 15 at assumed position of gjb7. Scaffold NW_012220668 from the draft herring genome assembly contains gjb7 in position 2,189,757–2,188,978 (i.e., on the reverse strand). This scaffold was aligned with herring chromosome 15 assembly LR535871 position 0 to 3,500,000 using the alignment option in Blast. The position of gjb7 on NW_012220668 is indicated by the red dotted line. There are apparent inversions and breaks in the area where gjb7 was expected in chromosome 15. The word size in the alignment was 256
