Examples of 'contig' in a sentence

Meaning of "contig"

Contig (noun): In genomics, a contig is a set of overlapping DNA segments that together represent a consensus region of DNA. Contigs are used in the process of genome assembly to reconstruct the original DNA sequence

  • A set of overlapping DNA segments, derived from a single source of genetic material, from which the complete sequence may be deduced.
