The Oct. 2006 Monodelphis domestica draft assembly (NCBI project 12561, accession AAFR03000000) was produced by The Broad Institute. For more information about this assembly, see MonDom5 in the NCBI Assembly database.
A genome position can be specified by the accession number of a sequenced genomic region, an mRNA or EST, a chromosomal coordinate range, or keywords from the GenBank description of an mRNA. The following list shows examples of valid position queries for the Opossum genome. See the User's Guide for more information.

This draft of the opossum genome has approximately 6.8X coverage. The assembly length is nearly 3.61 billion bp including gaps (3.50 billion bp without gaps) contained on chromosomes 1-8, X, M (mitochondrial DNA), and Un (unmapped clone contigs). The N50 of the scaffolds including gaps is 60,456 kb; the N50 without gaps is 110 kb. The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer.
