  • a Total number of genes includes the 913 TE-related genes and the 5002 non-TE-related genes.

  • b Gene density is reported for all genes and non-TE-related genes (in parentheses).

  • c Average length of the genes is determined using the length from the start codon to the stop codon of the longest isoform for all gene models.
