Genome properties
The genome is 2,678,452 bp long and comprises one circular chromosome with 67% GC content (Figure 2). For the main chromosome, 2,493 genes were predicted, 2,407 of which are protein-coding genes. A total of 1,905 of protein coding genes were assigned to a putative function, with the remaining annotated as hypothetical proteins. In addition, 31 pseudo genes were identified. The properties and the statistics of the genome are summarized in Tables 3-4.
