Practice question
Question
The N50 of a given genome assembly is 500,000 bp. What does it mean ?
Explanation
The principle of core biological organization explains that structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. Hence Half of the genome is in contigs of 500 kb or more. fits best because it integrates fundamental life science principles, as documented in authoritative sources on general biology.
