contig

A continuous segment of genetic material on a chromosome.

contig

a contiguous set of overlapping DNA sequences, which assemble to form a defined region of the genome from which they derived. Contig formation is a necessary step in determining the sequence of an entire genome by the CLONE CONTIG SEQUENCING METHOD. See also GENOMICS.

It should be noted that the quality of the de novo transcriptome assembly is reliant on the user-defined k-mer value characterized as the length parameter defining the sequence overlap between two reads forming a contiguous sequence (referred as a contig) [44,45].
