One of the statistics used to describe a genome assembly is N50. The diagram below shows contigs aligned in order of size, which cover a genome of 100 Mbp. What is the N50 contig size? Enter just the number. 100 25 10 10 8 7 7 6 5 5 5 5 3 2 2 50%

Step 1
Total size = 25 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 100 Mbp Show more…

The lengths of a set of contigs in the sorted order are 90, 70, 50, 40, 40, 20. The N50 number of the set of contigs is ?
Imagine SPAdes returns nine contigs with the following lengths: [20, 20, 30, 30, 60, 60, 80, 100, 200]. Also, imagine that we know our genome length to be 1000. Compute the NG50 value.
