Identification of the functional gene set and the general features of intronic and intergenic regions. a The length distribution of full-length minichromosomes from PacBio sequencing. We identified about 9000 reads with telomeric repeats (C4A2) n or (T2G4) n at both ends of a single read, which represent full-length minichromosomes. b Categorization of alleles at the same locus into different CDS subgroups using population genomics data. Alleles sharing the same sequence positions for the start and stop sites were classified into a CDS subgroup. For each locus, we chose the subgroup with the highest number of alleles to identify the functional allele. If the difference between the allele numbers of the top two subgroups was equal to or less than one, we chose the subgroup with a longer coding region (see the “Methods” section). c Mean nucleotide diversity of the sequences upstream of the coding region. Position 1 represents the first base pair upstream of the translation start site
