The assembly is allelic, and the genome is tetraploid. It has a haploid genome size of 2000 Mb, and has 20 haploid chromosomes.

Species herbarium records

Herbarium records of Sorghastrum nutans from AuBuchon-Elder et al 2022 are plotted with black points, The sampled individual this genome was generated from is shown in a colored point. The green background shows the biogeographic ranges of all Andropogoneae species in AuBuchon-Elder et al 2022.

Dotplot of Sorghastrum nutans vs. Paspalum vaginatum

Like dotplots shown in Figure 3 of the main text, this shows syntenic blocks in Sorghastrum nutans along the y-axis, vs P. vaginatum on the x-axis. As Sorghastrum nutans is a tetraploid with an allelic assembly, we expect 4 paths for any x-axis position.

Fractionation of Sorghastrum nutans

Like plots shown in Figure 4 of the main text, this shows proportion of retained genes in Sorghastrum nutans along the y-axis, vs P. vaginatum gene index on the x-axis. As Sorghastrum nutans is a tetraploid with an allelic assembly, we expect 4 lines, two for each subgenome.
