Contig

Contig

Ein Contig (von engl. contiguous = angrenzend, zusammenhängend) ist ein Set überlappender DNA-Stücke ("reads"), die von derselben genetischen Quelle stammen. Ein solches Contig kann dazu genutzt werden, die Original-DNA-Sequenz dieser genetischen Quelle (z. B. die Sequenz eines Chromosoms) abzuleiten.

Eine Contig-Karte zeigt die relative Reihenfolge einer zusammengehörenden Contig-Bibliothek, die z. B. ein komplettes Chromosom darstellen.
