Length Size of the segment expressed in base pairs. Selecting this link will display a page that provides more detailed information about the sequence. Status Sequencing status. Sequences may be finished or unfinished. There may also be a gap indicating that a segment was unclonable or unsequencable.
Most gaps are of known size as indicated by the length column.
Genetic Pos Approximate position on the genetic map, expressed in cM. These positions are estimated by linear interpolation from the positions of genetic loci known to be present on the sequence, and their accuracy depends on multiple factors. Loci Genetic loci that have been identified on this sequence. 16,196,490 - 17,484,598 See below for table key. Download complete DNA or feature table from the Sanger Centre. The C. elegans genome was sequenced by determining the overlap of a set of 20,000 cosmids, finding a minimal tiling path for the cosmids, and then submitting them to shotgun sequencing.
