Contig
Sign in to savethumb|Overlapping reads from paired-end sequencing form contigs; contigs and gaps of known length form Scaffolding (bioinformatics)|scaffolds.A contig (from contiguous) is a set of overlapping DNA segments that together represent a consensus region of DNA. In bottom-up sequencing projects, a contig refers to overlapping sequence data (reads); in top-down sequencing projects, contig refers to the overlapping clones that form a physical map of the genome that is used to guide sequencing and assembly. Contigs can thus refer both to overlapping DNA sequences and to overlapping physical segments (f

Ein Contig (von engl. contiguous = angrenzend, zusammenhängend) ist ein Satz überlappender DNA- oder Protein-Stücke (reads), die von derselben genetischen Quelle stammen. Ein solches Contig kann dazu genutzt werden, die Original-DNA-Sequenz dieser genetischen Quelle (z. B. die Sequenz eines Chromosoms) abzuleiten. Eine Contig-Karte zeigt die relative Reihenfolge einer zusammengehörenden Contig-Bibliothek, die z. B. ein komplettes Chromosom darstellen.
