MG-RAST Numbers

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
