  1. Old assembly refers to ASM22713v2 from strain BPK282A, new assembly refers to the assembly presented in this work. Contigs denotes the number of genomic fragments uninterrupted by stretches of unknown bases (Ns) or chromosome ends. N50 is used as a measure of contiguity, 50% of the genome is contained in contigs of size N50 and above. Annotated genes were broken down into protein coding, transfer-RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), spliced leader RNA (SLRNA) and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) genes. The number of genes mapped indicates the number of annotated genes along the genome.
