1. Ecological genomics of the Northern krill: Genome assembly DNA sequences

1. northern_krill.genome_assembly.tar.gz, the major gzipped tar archive that contains seven DNA sequence files in FASTA format. These files represent the finished genome assembly of the Northern krill, produced using the "K20" reference specimen.
2. non_reference_preliminary_mitochondrial_sequence.tar.gz, a minor file with resources used to assemble a preliminary mitochondrial sequence from a non-reference specimen ("K4").
3. README.genecovr_instructions.txt, instructions in a text file for how to use genecovr and GMAP to evaluate the quality of the resulting genome assembly using RNA transcript sequences.

• seq_s_X: "s" indicates this sequence is a scaffold of contings and contains gaps ("N")
• seq_c_X: "c" indicates this sequence is a contings and contains no gaps
• seq_a_X: indicates this is an "artifact" (see above)
• seq_h_X: indicates this is a "haplotig" (see above)
• seq_m_X: indicates this is the mitochondrial sequence (see above)
• seq_r_X: indicates this is a "mitochondrial artifact" sequence (see above)
• seq_b_X: indicates this is a "bacterial" sequence (see above)

• File = name of file
• Sequence = name of sequence
• Length = length of sequence
• Length no N = length of sequence, not counting N
• Start = counting incrementally across the whole file, this is the start position of the sequence
• End = counting incrementally across the whole file, this is the stop position of the sequence
• Total = counting incrementally across the whole file, the total amount of sequence seen at this stage

• x = the N-level, from 1 to 100.
• Nx = the N-level, from 1 to 100 and written as N1 to N100.
• LENGTH[Nx] = the length of the shortest sequence at this level
• n[Lx] = the number of of sequences at this level
• SUM = counting incrementally across N-levels, the sum of the sequence lengths at this level
• BIN_SUM = the sum of sequence lengths for this particular level/bin

• TOT = total length of sequences in the file
• SEQS = number of sequences in the file
• MAX = the length of the longest sequence
• MEAN = the mean length of the sequences

This item holds genome assembly reference sequences, i.e. the main output from the genome assembly.

Contents:

northern_krill.genome_assembly.tar.gz

This archive contains the final genome assembly sequences. The most important file of these is "1.m_norvegica.main_w_mito.fasta" which is the main nuclear genome assembly plus the mitochondrial sequence. This is the primary genome assembly resource and was annotated for genes, repeats and DNA methylation. Genome-scale patterns of genetic variation among individuals and populations was measured using this resource as the reference.

Archived contents:

Sequence naming follow this convention:

Each FASTA file contans two accessory files tab-separated spreadsheet files:

FASTA.lengths.csv: contains information about the order and lengths of sequences.

FASTA.Nx_stats_1.csv: contains info about the length distribution of sequences, for example the N50. The sequences were sorted by length in order to produce these statistics.

Four additional statistics are printed as keys and values on the first line:

non_reference_preliminary_mitochondrial_sequence.tar.gz

An archive with the Nanopore long-reads (FASTQ format) used to produce a preliminary mitochondrial assemly from a non-reference specimen ("K4"), as well as the resulting sequence (FASTA format). In addition, the archive contains the MITOS2 gene annotations for this preliminary assembly.
