Hi,

I noted that some of my genomes are names with an NZ_ and other with NC_ identifier. What is the difference between them? Specifically, are NZ_  "complete" genomes?


From [The NCBI Handbook, ch18][1]: (via [this answer][2])

 **NC** - "Complete genomic molecule, usually reference assembly"

**NZ** - "Unfinished WGS"
