Prior to computational analyses, genomic information was collated for all target species or, if such information was not available, from the closest related species. Published reference genomes were collected from the literature and online resources, such as GenBank and Ensembl [131]. In addition, genome size estimates were retrieved from genomesize.com [132] and other published estimates based on flow cytometry (e.g. [69]). Genome size estimates as C values were transformed to Mb for comparison (1 pg = 978 Mb) [133].
