Genomes Pages - Whole Genome Shotgun entries

Methods using whole genome shotgun data are used to gain a large amount of genome coverage for an organism. WGS data for a growing number of organisms are being submitted to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank and are made available via the EBI FTP server at ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ena/wgs/.

WGS accession-number structure:
<4 letters><2 digits><6 digits> or
<4 letters><2 digits><7 digits>
where:
<4 letters> = set_id
<2 digits> = set_version
<6 digits> or <7 digits> = contig_id

Example: AAAA01000001.1
Oryza sativa L. ssp. Indica Whole Genome Shotgun sequences have been assigned the set_id 'AAAA', the WGS project accession-number is AAAA00000000. The accession number of the first version of the rice WGS data is AAAA01000000 and the first sequence in that set is acc#.version AAAA01000001.1

Note: When a given WGS project is updated, ALL contigs from the first version are replaced by ALL contigs from the second version.
