3.2 Genome annotation
In total, 342 Mb repeat sequences were identified, accounting for
58.53% of C. japonica genome, which was similar as the close
relatives A. pernyi (60.74%), but higher than A.
yamamai (37.33%) and S. ricini (34.3%) (Table S1). The
Unclassified, long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and DNA
transposons are the most abundant TEs. Genome annotation by de
novo gene prediction and homologous gene search yields 24791
protein-coding genes, much more than the number in A. pernyi(20814), A. yamamai (14638) and S. ricini (20366)
(Table 2).
