assembly_summary

refseq.assembly_summary

Current and historical RefSeq genome assemblies from NCBI master summary files, one row per assembly.

assembly_name is NCBI’s human-readable asm_name label and may not be globally unique.

Use assembly_url to locate the assembly package’s annotation and sequence files.

Not partitioned.

Column Type Description
sources STRUCT(url TEXT, filename TEXT, last_modified_at TIMESTAMPTZ, sha256 TEXT)[] Original external inputs used to produce the row. Each item contains its source URL, filename, HTTP Last-Modified timestamp when available, and computed SHA-256 checksum.
assembly_accession TEXT Versioned RefSeq assembly accession (GCF accession).
bioproject_accession TEXT NCBI BioProject accession associated with the assembly, if supplied.
biosample_accession TEXT NCBI BioSample accession associated with the assembly, if supplied.
wgs_master_accession TEXT GenBank Nucleotide accession and version for the Whole Genome Shotgun project master record, if applicable. Complete-genome and clone-based assemblies do not have a WGS master record.
is_historical BOOLEAN Whether this row originated from NCBI’s historical, rather than current, RefSeq assembly summary.
version_status TEXT NCBI status of the assembly version, such as latest, replaced, suppressed, or withdrawn.
refseq_exclusion_reason TEXT NCBI excluded_from_refseq reason for exclusion from RefSeq, if applicable.
assembly_not_live_date DATE Date NCBI marked the assembly as no longer live, if applicable.
is_reference BOOLEAN Whether NCBI designates the assembly as that species’ RefSeq reference genome.
organism_taxon_id TEXT Opaque-string NCBI taxonomy ID assigned to the organism represented by this assembly; maps to registry.taxa.taxon_id.
species_taxon_id TEXT Opaque-string NCBI taxonomy ID assigned to the assembly’s species; joins to Ensembl taxonomy_id.
organism_name TEXT Scientific organism name reported by NCBI.
infraspecific_names STRUCT(type TEXT, name TEXT)[] Infraspecific names reported by NCBI, parsed into type and name pairs, such as strain, breed, cultivar, or ecotype.
isolate TEXT Isolate name reported by NCBI, if supplied.
assembly_level TEXT NCBI-reported assembly completeness classification.
release_type TEXT NCBI-reported release classification.
genome_representation TEXT NCBI-reported extent of genome representation.
sequence_release_date DATE Date the assembly sequence was released in an INSDC database (DDBJ, ENA, or GenBank).
assembly_name TEXT NCBI asm_name: a human-recognizable assembly label, including its patch where applicable (for example, GRCh38.p14).
assembly_submitter TEXT Organization or individual that submitted the assembly.
genbank_assembly_accession TEXT Paired GenBank assembly accession (GCA accession with version), if NCBI provides one.
is_identical_to_genbank BOOLEAN Whether NCBI reports the paired GenBank assembly as identical; null when no comparison is available.
assembly_url TEXT NCBI directory URL for the RefSeq assembly package and its annotation and sequence files.
relation_to_type_material TEXT NCBI-reported relationship of the organism to type material, if supplied.
assembly_type TEXT Ploidy or assembly type reported by NCBI, if supplied.
organism_group TEXT NCBI organism group, if supplied.
assembly_size BIGINT Total assembly length in base pairs, if supplied.
assembly_size_ungapped BIGINT Total ungapped assembly length in base pairs, if supplied.
assembly_gc_fraction FLOAT Assembly GC content as a fraction from 0 through 1, if supplied.
assembly_replicon_count INT Number of replicons in the assembly, if supplied.
assembly_scaffold_count INT Number of scaffolds in the assembly, if supplied.
assembly_contig_count INT Number of contigs in the assembly, if supplied.
annotation_provider TEXT Organization that supplied the current annotation, if supplied.
annotation_name TEXT NCBI annotation release name or version, if supplied.
annotation_date DATE Date of the current annotation release, if supplied.
total_gene_count INT Total annotated gene count, if supplied.
protein_coding_gene_count INT Protein-coding annotated gene count, if supplied.
non_coding_gene_count INT Non-coding annotated gene count, if supplied.
pubmed_ids TEXT[] PubMed identifiers associated with the assembly.
