Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource The chromosome-scale Sarracenia assembly is 3.41 Gbp and the largest sequenced carnivorous genome.
- Method / resource The assembly has N50 over 220 Mbp, L50 of 7 and maximum contig over 281.4 Mbp.
- Method / resource The assembly contains 52,067 gene models, 96% supported by mRNA evidence.
- Observation The genome shows paleopolyploidization around 81–84 Mya.
- Observation WGD expanded about 33 gene families across seven pathways.
- Mechanism Seven pathway networks appear to underpin defense, stress response and carnivory.
- Mechanism Gene gain was identified as the primary driver of functional innovation and adaptation.
