We’ve been making improvements to the NCBI genome Assembly resource. Highlights include:

• Links added between members of a pair of genome assemblies derived from the same diploid individual
• Additional filters now shown on the left-hand side bar
  • Annotation status
  • Assembly type, including the new types “Unresolved diploid” and “Alternate pseudohaplotype”
• vhost filters on the Advanced page Search Builder that allow selection of virus assemblies with a particular host (e.g. “vhost human”)
• Searching by assembly names with the version unspecified
• Total ungapped length reported in the “Global statistics” table, replacing the less useful total gap length
• Improved N50 & L50 statistics presentation for complex genome assemblies

Figure 1. The Assembly search web pages now have new filters on the left-hand side bar and an new vhost filter available on the Advanced search page.

Please visit the Assembly Help page for more information on these improvements.
