  1. aGenome size was estimated in the present study. bChromosome number was determined by DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining (Supplementary Fig. S2). cThe genome size of A. elata was considered to be approximately 0.8 Gb in this study, based on the genome sizes of related species51. d,eQuality-controlled WGS reads were used in the current study.
