It is fully integrated into the Celera Discovery System which gives you the tools to analyze mRNAs, proteins, conserved genes and more. The Celera Human Genome Data was produced using DNA from five individuals. The coverage of the genome in cloned DNA represented by paired end-sequences exceeded 37x and the sequence reads represent a 4.94x coverage. Two assembly methods, a whole genome assembly and a regional hybrid assembly were utilized, combining BAC data from GenBank and Celera data. The table above shows a comparison of the Celera assembly error rate versus the public human sequence as assembled at the University of California and Santa Cruz by Haussler.
Mate pairs are the sequenced ends of inserts that actually make up the scaffolds.
The orientation and separation of the mate pairs are known and can be used to check the final assembly of the sequence.
