| Contig |
The term “contig” comes from a shortening of the word “contiguous". It can be used to refer to the final product of a shotgun sequencing project. When individual lanes of sequence information are assembled to infer the sequence of the larger DNA piece, the product consensus sequence is called a “contig”. |
