“…We used this combined Actinopterygii + O. amberensis library to annotate REs in the O. amberensis assembly using repeatmasker version 4.1.0 with the search engine set to “ncbi” and the ‐xsmall option. We repeated the above steps to classify and annotate REs in nine additional fish genome assemblies— Chaenocephalus aceratus (Chaenocephalus aceratus V1.0; Kim et al, 2019), Cottoperca gobio (Cottoperca gobio V1.0; Bista et al, 2020), Danio rerio (Danio rerio V4.0; Howe et al, 2013), Dissostichus mawsoni (Dissostichus mawsoni V1.0; Lee et al, 2021), Gadus morhua (gadMor1, Ensembl release 97; Star et al, 2011), Gasterosteus aculeatus (BROAD S1, Ensembl release 97; Jones et al, 2012), Notothenia coriiceps (Notothenia coriiceps V1.0; Shin et al, 2014), Parachaenicthys charcoti (Parachaenichthys charcoti V1.0, GigaDB data set #100321; Ahn et al, 2017) and Takifugu rubripes (FUGU5, Ensembl release 98; Aparicio et al, 2002)—such that each assembly was annotated using a combined library of Actinopterygii and the custom library from repeatmodeler for each species. We summarized repeat abundance by parsing output from repeatmasker and generating plots in R version 3.5.1 (R Core Team, 2021) using custom scripts.…”
