A guide to learning how assemblies are generated, how to use them and how to find the data
- Assembly Basics: A guide to how genome assemblies are performed.
- Genome Reference Consortium: A project to support curation of genomes once the major sequencing effort has been completed. Currently supporting human and mouse.
- AGP Information: An AGP is a commonly used file format for describing assemblies. They are accepted by GenBank as well as other genome browsers.
- TPF Specification (pdf): A file format for providing sequence order for a given assembly. This is used as input for the genome maintenance projects.
