What Does CONTIG Stand For?
CONTIG stands for Contiguous
CONTIG, short for "Contiguous," refers to a sequence of DNA or RNA fragments that are directly adjacent to each other, forming a continuous stretch without any gaps. This term is commonly used in genomics and bioinformatics to describe assembled sequences that represent a unified segment of a genome or transcriptome, enabling researchers to analyze genetic information more effectively.
