  1. The genome size, number of chromosomes (scaffolds), GC content, and number of genes and pseudogenes is listed for P. brasilianum and P. malariae. The final 7 rows list the number of genes in P. malariae whose gene ID is annotated as either pir, stp1, tryptophan-rich, etramp, phist, fam-l, or fam-m. These do not include pseudogene annotations. Corresponding values were determined for P. brasilianum through matching annotations obtained by Orthofinder.
