Table 1. Drosophila species genomes, with sizes, abbreviation, Dmel genes found, and sequencing centers for CAF1 assemblies. Total assembly size (T), euchromatin (E) size, and Dmel (Me) DNA homology sizes, in Megabases, total (Nt) and euchromatic scaffold count (Ne), and percentages of Dmel genes found in total (%Gt) and euchromatic (%Ge) scaffolds, GC content and assembly gaps (Gaps). The major euchromatic scaffolds matched to Dmel euchromatin are shown at DroSpeGe/maps/muller-elements/. Repeat coverage is from the ReAS analysis of Ruiqiang Li and colleagues. Species are listed by increasing phylogenetic distance from Dmel.
The values E, Ne, Ge/Gt are particular indicators of quality of the assembly. Dere and Dmoj are best, next to Dmel.
