aGenome proportion of individual groups of repeats was estimated from the sum of genome representation (GR) values of corresponding clusters of contigs.

b Estimates based on genomic copy numbers inferred from the read depth of contigs including conserved sequence domains (RT, reverse transcriptase; PBS, primer binding site). Genome proportion of the repeats was calculated using the length of the complete elements and therefore it is provided only for repeat families with known full-length copies in the pea genome.
