What are BF, 2F, and 3F chromosomes?
Those ‘chromosomes’ represent contigs that have not been anchored to a specific position on a real chromosome. Because the data model does not not allow ‘floating’ contigs, we concatenated these contigs into ‘chromosomes’ so that all sequences and their annotations could be presented. BF represents floating contigs that came from the Baylor Sequencing Senter (chromosomes 4, 5, and 6); 2F represents floating contigs that came specifically from the sequencing of chromosome 2, and 3F from chromosome 3. The inter-contig ordering in these chromosomes is meaningless, but the annotations are valuable nonetheless.
