Table 3 Comparison of African pan-genome contigs to the Chinese and Korean genomes

From: Assembly of a pan-genome from deep sequencing of 910 humans of African descent

 

Best GRCh38 alignment is 80–90% identical with 50–80% coverage

Best GRCh38 alignment is <80% identical or <50% coverage

  1. Contigs with a better alignment to the Chinese or Korean assemblies than to GRCh38. Alignments to the Chinese and Korean assemblies were required to have ≥90% identity and ≥80% coverage to be considered. Lengths shown are the sums of the contig lengths, not the alignment lengths.
