In shotgun DNA sequencing projects, a contig (from contiguous) is a set of overlapping DNA segments derived from a single genetic source. A contig in this sense can be used to deduce the original DNA sequence of the source. This meaning of contig is in accordance with the original definition by Staden (1979).
