(b) Native (orange) and introduced (purple) distributions ranges of raccoon dog (source IUCN red list). (c) Workflow of genome assembly and annotation followed in this study. (d) Blob plot showing read depth of coverage, GC content and size of each scaffold. Size of the blobs correspond to size of the scaffold and color corresponds to taxonomic assignment of BLAST (blue = Carnivora). (e) Whole genome synteny, obtained with Jupiterplot, between the Canis lupus familiaris chromosome-level assembly (on the left) and the raccoon dog genome assembly obtained in this study (on the right). The lines indicate aligned regions between the two assemblies.
