3.3 Repeat element annotation, gene prediction, and gene annotation
Four methods were applied to annotate the repeat elements of C. japonica genome and 824.02 Mb repeat elements were identified, which account for 57.65% of the assembly genome. The top 3 repeat elements included DNA transposable element (DNA, 318.62 Mb; 22.29% of the genome), long interspersed nuclear elements (236.31 Mb, 16.53% of the genome), and long terminal repeats (179.30 Mb, 12.54% of the genome, Table.3).
