SEED Viewer Numbers

The SeedViewer, RAST-Server and MG-RAST-Server offer 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'

This is the identifier string of the longest sequence submitted.

• Longest sequence length

This is the length of the longest sequence submitted.

• Shortest sequence id

This is the identifier string of the shortest sequence submitted.

• Shortest sequence length

This is the length of the shortest sequence submitted

RAST

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

• Number of features

This is the number of features the RAST-Server could identify in your uploaded genome and match to our database.

• Number of warnings

This is the number of warnings issued by the pipeline while processing your genome. This refers to inconsistencies detected, which are not fatal to annotation, but which should be investigated further. The numbers for each type of warnings are listed below.

• Number of fatal problems

This is the number of problems which cause the pipeline to be unable to process your genome. These problems have to be addressed before the annotation process can finish.

• Possibly missing genes

• Convergent overlaps

• Divergent overlaps

• Same strand overlaps
