Received another set of Ostrea lurida genome assembly data from BGI. In this case, it’s data assembled from the small insert libraries they created for this project.

All data is stored here: http://owl.fish.washington.edu/O_lurida_genome_assemblies_BGI/20160512/

They’ve provided a Genome Survey (PDF) that has some info about the data they’ve assembled. In it, is the estimated genome size:

Olympia oyster genome size: 1898.92 Mb

Additionally, there’s a table breaking down the N50 distributions of scaffold and contig sizes.

Data management stuff was performed in a Jupyter (iPython) notebook; see below.
