supercontig consists of one or more sequence contigs known to occur in a specific order and orientation. Because we sequence each end of the subclones of plasmids and Fosmids, we can recognize that when one end of a clone lies in one sequence contig and the other end of the clone lies in a different sequence contig, these two contigs probably lie close to each other. To create supercontigs we require that two or more such linking clones join two sequence contigs. See Assembly for details.
