When completing genome sequences, contiguous sequences, or contigs are important intermediates. Which of the following is true about contigs? Group of answer choices   The smaller the contig, the better it is for a complete genome assembly.   A contig represents the sequence production from a single sequencing reaction.   A contig is the name for a fragment of DNA made from a larger genomic DNA or chromosome, prior to its sequencing.   A contig represents a DNA sequence assembled from smaller sequencing reads, and has no gaps.
