Salamanders have the largest genome among tetrapod vertebrates. Our previous results indicated that LTR retrotransposons contribute to the genomic gigantism of Plethodontid salamanders, however, it is
In this study, two diploids, T. dactyloides var. meridionale (2n = 36, MR) and T. dactyloides (2n = 36, DD), and one tetraploid, T. dactyloides (2n = 72, DL) were sequenced by low-coverage genome sequ
