SEED Viewer Numbers

Numbers in the SeedViewer, RAST Server and MG-RAST Server

The SeedViewer offers you a large number of statistics and detailed numbers about your organism. The purpose of this page is to explain how we calculate these numbers and what they mean.

MG-RAST

On the details page of your organism, you will find the following numbers:

• Number of sequences

This is the total number of sequences submitted by the user for this genome. Not all of these will produce results later on. It is possible and very probable that some sequences can not be matched to anything in our database.

• Total sequence length

This is the sum of the lengths of all submitted sequences.

• Average read length

This is the Total sequence length divided by the Number of sequences

• Longest sequence id'

• Longest sequence length

• Shortest sequence id

• Shortest sequence length
