A 99.3 percent core-gene hit rate is not a 99.3 percent complete genome
The evidence library is allowed to change in public. This page preserves the revised boundary, why it moved and which guides were affected.
What changed
The genetics guide now includes the foundational 2014 short-read Neocaridina resource while separating gene detection from whole-genome completeness, commercial-line ancestry, pedigree and consumer testing.
Why it changed
One commercially sourced adult supplied the genomic DNA. The assembly contained 3,346,358 contigs, an N50 of 400 base pairs and 1.284 gigabases against an assumed approximately 3-gigabase genome. The 99.3 percent figure came from recognizable hits for 455 of 458 selected core genes, while the authors described non-coding sequence as poorly recovered.

Affected practical guides
A public change is not automatically a retraction. A source may be added, a scope narrowed, a gap refined or an error corrected. The current guide and registry record own the current wording.
