a, c, e Genomic landscape of each sibling species, depicted in circular diagrams with the following layers (starting from the outer layer): I. Chromosomes on a megabase (Mb) scale; II. Density of protein-coding genes; III. Distribution of GC content; IV. Distribution of repetitive sequences. All distributions except GC content (III) were calculated with 100 kb non-overlapping sliding windows, while distribution of GC content was calculated with 10 kb sliding windows. b, d, f Hi-C contact maps of genomes of each species, generated by Juicebox software88. These maps show the different chromosome numbers assembled in the three species, offering a visual representation of their genomic organization. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
