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
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
