Ferret Ig and TCR V, D, and J regions were identified and classified as functional, pseudogenes, or ORF, as described in Materials and Methods. In the case of IGHV, 19 provisional genes were found in separate contigs (see Materials and Methods and Table S2, “IGHV Provisional” tab) are not included.
